Did you know?

62% said that evidence of craftsmanship was most important in the judging process.

Hint: The description is often where entries stand out. Use it to let the judges know things about the deck that the photos may not tell. What makes this deck truly special? What is unique about it vs. others? What challenges did you have to overcome? How did it meet the demands of the customer?

A good description can make your deck stand out.
