16 categories of eggshell art assessment is outlined for the Master Artisan Pathway "MAP". Master Artisan Pathway- "MAP" MAP Categories and Guidelines Kategorie i wytyczne „MAP” GENERAL GUIDELINES Only original designs using real eggshells will be considered for assessment. Any size of eggshell, unless otherwise stated can be used. Designs using more than one egg, for example two eggs forming a heart shape, can be entered for assessment. Judges will score the following categories : Creativity and Originality - Only original designs allowed. Composition and Design - Use of the Principles and Elements of Design (Line, composition, space, movement, balance, emphasis, pattern, unity, color, contrast, rhythm, texture, value, form) Technique Craftsmanship and Presentation Degree of Difficulty Overall Impression CATEGORY GUIDELINES Where one or more techniques are used, please select the category which applies to the main technique. If you are unsure, you can ask for assistance by contacting us. Click on the photos to see a larger picture. ACID ETCHING A design where acid is used to remove areas of the shell to create a design. The overall design and technique execution will be assessed, and the level of difficulty will be taken into account. (Eggs, such as an emu, where different color layers exist will require more careful attention to detail). APPLIED WAX A design where wax is applied as part of the design and left in situ as part of the decorative technique, such as Madeira work, cross-stitch style etc. The even application of the wax to the egg will be considered, along with the complexity of the design. The judges will be looking for a mix of technique to include ‘drop-pull’. Additional cut work will add to the level of complexity. ART BATIK A design which uses the basic techniques of waxing and dyeing, without using traditional Pysanky motifs. This style of work is decorative and is not constrained by tradition. ARTIST’S CHOICE Let your creativity run riot with this category - any style, any combination of technique or use of material. The usual criteria of good workmanship will be assessed. BEADED or JEWELED A design where the main focus of the work involves the application of beading or jewels. Attention should be paid to the careful placement of beads, smoothness of the finish and uniformity of any pattern, such as a basket-weave. Other techniques can be incorporated. CARVING The shell should be carved into to create relief work, using a technique which involves deeper scoring of the shell than the scratch carving category. Attention should be paid to creating clean, smooth cuts. The carving should be well-balanced, and other techniques can be incorporated into the design. DÉCOUPAGE Attention will be paid to the accuracy of cutting the paper print (decals are not permitted) and the surface finish of the egg after the print has been buried. The surface should be perfectly smooth, free from blemish and should not have any unwanted particles embedded in the finish. This category is one where the egg has to be judged ‘in person’. DIORAMA The main focus of the design will be a scene that is created within the egg; however, this can also extend around the egg. The level of detail included will be assessed, however the exterior of the egg will also be looked at in detail. Any items made by the artist should be mentioned as this will be of benefit in the assessment. The usual criteria of a well-balanced and tasteful design will also apply. HAND PAINTED or DRAWN The design must be original and can be in any style; however, the complexity of the work will be given additional credit, and it is expected that the submission will show proportion, balance, and if appropriate, shadow, depth and good use of color to create an overall pleasing piece of work. INTRICATELY CUT Intricate cut work is the main focus of the work involved. The level of difficulty in terms of working with thinner shells will be taken into account, as well as the neatness of the cutting, the removal of membrane and the general balance and design of the work presented. MECHANICAL A design which incorporates movement within the design. The mechanisms used could be battery powered, using pulleys etc., but must operate smoothly. The judges may request a short video of the egg in action to determine the level of movement involved. Unless creating movement in addition to music, musical boxes do not fall into this category. The overall design, innovation and technical expertise will be assessed and taken into account when judging. MINIATURE A category where any style of work is acceptable, however the entire design (including the stand and any added items) should fit within a box 3" x 3" x 3" (7.5 x 7.5 x 7.5cm). Work will be assessed with the usual criteria of execution of techniques used, neatness of workmanship. Complexity of design and skills used will also be taken into consideration. MIXED or OTHER MEDIA Lots of scope for creativity in this category where a distinct additional style of work is added to the egg, such as polymer clay work, popotillo, quilling, scrimshaw and other paper crafting techniques (such as paper constructions/origami). This should not include work that falls readily into other categories such as paper sculpture work. Attention will be paid to the execution of the different techniques displayed with both being of an acceptable standard. Ingenuity will be a factor in the judging as well as the general standards of workmanship. NOVELTY A design which displays an unusual and novel concept. Examples could include a tea service, method of transport (car, boat etc.), wearable egg art. Attention will be paid to the unusual concept displayed in the entry as well as the general execution of workmanship and complexity of technique. P APER SCULPTURE Paper Toile and Bas Relief fall within this category. Both methods of work include the accurate cutting of paper prints which are then built up into a 3-dimensional finish. The raised paperwork should be firm to the touch. The finished work should exhibit neat cutwork, and the design can be raised against the shell with the edges all touching the egg or, alternatively, certain areas can be raised permanently. Suitability of the paper print and originality of its application to the egg as well as the accurate execution of the technique will be taken into account. PYSANKY-DIASPORA This category allows the artist to combine traditional motifs (we require the artist to provide an explanation/meaning behind the symbols) with a free interpretation to create an original design using the wax and dyeing techniques. PYSANKY-FOLK This category is for replicas of ethnographic designs from historical sources. Replication must be exact with an image of the original design for comparison provided. THIS IS THE ONLY CATEGORY WHERE COPIES ARE ALLOWED. SCRATCH CARVING A design where the egg is dyed using either a natural or chemical dye and the surface ONLY of the shell is manually scratched to create shading, texture and a pleasing design. We wish to thank the artists who participated in "Egg of the Month", Master Artisan Pathway and the IEAG Master Program whose egg art is shown. These are all considered fine examples of the styles shown.

MAP is a program of assessment, education, acknowlegement and certification for egg artists. The mission is to raise the level of egg art to its highest form. Master Artisan Pathway- "MAP" Important Notice : The MAP team had their semi-annual meeting, and a few updates were made to the program. There will no longer be two different pathways (accelerated and traditional). All entries will simply be judged using the same scale as always. Also, the Master Artisan and Supreme Master Artisan has been simplified. These updates are reflected below and will be effective April 1, 2024. WHAT IS MAP AND HOW TO BECOME A MASTER ARTISAN THRU THIS PROGRAM MAP is a program of assessment, education and acknowledgement (certification) which any member of EGG ART INTERNATIONAL can participate. All styles and levels of skill are encouraged to apply. The artist will have their work assessed and receive constructive criticism from our judges. Based on the scores/points received by two or more judges, the artist may receive a BRONZE (Advanced B eginner) certificate, SILVER (Intermediate Level) certificate or GOLD (Advanced Level) certificate. The minimum score to obtain the following certificates are as follows: BRONZE -70 points, SILVER- 80 points, GOLD-90 points. The maximum score is 100 points. By obtaining a GOLD certificate you will be allowed to use the title "ADVANCED LEVEL ARTISAN ". Further achievements will be acknowledged by awarding the title "MASTER ARTISAN" after receiving FIVE ‘GOLD’ level certificates in any combination of the same or different styles. The ultimate title of "SUPREME MASTER ARTISAN" will be awarded after obtaining EIGHT ‘gold’ level certificates in any combination of the same or different styles. See the 2025 MAP certificates below. MISSION OF THE MAP: The mission of the Master Artisan Pathway (MAP) is to raise the level of egg art to its highest form thru education, assessment and acknowledgement. BENEFITS OF THE MA P : MAP is a way of being able to get help in perfecting a technique by having your work looked at by experienced judges who are being selected to help you to achieve your full potential. MAP certification can be used as an aid to develop your career within egg art, either as a teacher or someone who sells their work to the public. A MAP certification can be displayed alongside your work or on your resumé giving added kudos to your status within the world of egg art. MAP is a forward-looking program which will encompass all styles of egg art. HOW TO APPLY Judging will take place, almost exclusively, through photographic submissions, a widely acknowledged method. It is essential that you read the photo submission criteria provided below. However, some eggs require ‘in person’ assessment due to technique or difficulty in providing a clear image. Photos will still be required for ‘in person’ judging. Complete the online application form (one form per individual entry) and include a minimum of six photos of your entry, labelled front, back, left side, right side, top and bottom (additional photos showing the interior or other details can also be included.). All names should be removed from the photos and any signature on the egg should be covered over. If you are unsure of the correct category to use or have any question, contact us. Once a complete entry has been submitted our policy is to have a response in 29 days or less. Please note if an entry is submitted without following the guidelines you will be asked to resubmit it. DISQUALIFICATIONS : Eggs or artists will be disqualified from the Master Artisan Pathway for the following reasons: Egg must be a real egg. The egg is from a seminar or instruction kit. The design is by another artist. Vulgar or lewd eggs Depiction of violence of any sort. Unprofessional, demeaning, bullying behavior towards other artists or their works. OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We strongly recommend that you limit posting your MAP entry on social media before submitting as it may cause a bias towards your entry. We strive to maintain strict confidentiality and our judges will decline to judge if they have seen the egg before. Also, eggs more than 5 years old are discouraged from MAP participation due to deterioration in materials and diminishing educational benefits. PREPARATION OF IMAGES FOR MAP JUDGING-Please read carefully so your entry will not be rejected. A. Introduction: Preparation of images for digital competition is somewhat different to preparation for printing. See the Image Preparation steps required below. If you shoot in JPEG or start with a JPEG image (filename extension .jpg) to create an image for submittal, you should always start from the same original un-edited image to create that competition image. Every time you edit a JPEG image and store it, you lose detail because of the file compression that is executed during the file storage process your computer executes. Keep a copy of the original JPEG file in a safe place (another folder or hard disk) where it will not be altered as you edit the working copy for competition. B. Image Preparation: All items below are mandatory for images you submit. 1. Sharpen the images to taste if your image editing software supports sharpening and you wish to do so. 2. Save the images in JPEG format limiting file size to 2 MB and using the naming specified below. 3. Submit the JPEG images only as specified: You are required to submit a minimum of 6 photos as outlined below. There are 2 optional views allowed. We recommend a photo with a different background as this will be used in the website gallery. If the egg opens an image of the inside must be added and labelled ‘inside’. If the egg has mechanical movement a video no longer than 10 seconds in length will be required. TOTAL MB allowed per application is 25MB. a. Name the file images as follows: Front, Back, Left Side, Right Side, Top and Bottom. b. Photos must not be labelled with a name or show a name. c. The background must be plain white or plain black without glare. Do not edit out the background. d. Take the pictures at eye level for the front, back and sides. The top photo must be taken from above looking straight down. The bottom photo must show the bottom of the art work. You will need to hold the piece up in order to obtain this view. Read the below tips. C. Helpful Tips for photographing artwork for digital submissions. Rev. 2-20-2025 .Please note revisions will occur periodically. Egg Art is a changing art with new materials, styles, equipment etc. We reserve the right to update as needed to improve the program or reflect these changes. Always read thru all the information before submitting an egg to ensure you are in compliance with any changes. Tips for the Perfect Photo

MAP judging criteria evaluates creativity,originality,composition,design,technique,craftsmanship,presentation,difficulty and overall impression using photo submission, in-person, or mail in judging. The score sheet is included on this page. Master Artisan Pathway- "MAP" Judging Criteria and Score Sheet There are certain criteria that should be met with regard to each separate category which may not necessarily apply to all, and these are specified under each section. However, the following general points will be taken into consideration when judging. These have been based on looking at assessments of different artistic/creative disciplines and the MAP applicant should endeavor to acknowledge and build upon these as they progress through the Master Artisan Pathway. THE JUDGES All judges received redacted applications so to eliminate any potential bias. While acknowledging that not everyone will have a working knowledge of all techniques, we are determined that judging will be fair, and as a result, judging will be carried out by artists who are proficient in egg art themselves with experience in various fields within egg art. Where the judges recognize their own lack of expertise, they will call in an additional judge who is deemed to be an expert in that particular field. That judge would also be more capable of giving constructive criticism and encouragement to applicants. We are attempting to provide judges in different countries over time so that the responsibility is shared. Creativity and Originality -Judges are aware of the work of many different egg artists, so copies of the work of others would not be acceptable. (See the declaration required on the application form). Make sure to describe any unique ideas in the description area of the form. Composition and Design -The arrangement of visual elements in an artwork, putting together your skills and knowledge of materials to create a masterpiece. Understand the Principles and Elements of Design (Line, composition, space, movement, balance, emphasis, pattern, unity, color, contrast, rhythm, texture, value, form). Does the design flow through the entire piece? The entry should be capable of being viewed as a whole, not just as an egg with additions. Check that no one element can be seen as being out of place. Do the components used create a well-balanced design by using appropriately sized embellishments? Technique -Probably the most obvious points, however attention should be paid to the execution of any technique used, any application of additional materials, correct alignment of the various components used in the design. The judges will be able to spot poor cutwork, paint finish, glue seepage, areas missing dyes etc., so make sure that the very basic mistakes are not made. Craftmanship and Presentation - Show the judges that some effort has been put into the work, not that you have just used what you have immediately available. Difficulty -Although the egg size is not the absolute determination of the degree of difficulty, it is important in several categories such as acid etching, applied wax, beaded/jeweled, carving, decoupage, hand painted, intricately cut, paper sculpture, pysanky and art batik Context/Description -Make sure to fill out the description on the form with as much information as possible. Describe unique ideas, methods used, any specific significance/symbolism of the entry. A thorough description will perhaps help you score higher in the creativity/originality section. CRITERIA SCORING The scoring system is based on a 100-point scale. The judge scores each category on a scale of 1-5. This is called the Raw Score. Each raw category score is than converted, based on the percent weighting, to a weighted score. You can read the Judge's Score Sheet below in order to see how much weighting is given to each category. We attempt to have at least 2-3 judges score the entries. The weighted scores from all judges are added together and divided by the number of judges to get the artists final score which will determine the level (bronze, silver or gold) awarded. POINTS NEEDED FOR AWARDS AND SCORE SHEETS Bronze Level Award requires a score of 70 points. Silver Level Award requires a score of 80 points. Gold level Award requires a score of 90 points.

Gold Award < Back Zuzana Konigova April 1, 2025 Gold Award CATEGORY: Intricately Cut PATHWAY: NA TYPE OF EGGS: 5 Types The symphony of past, present, and future. The past remains closed, a chapter of memories and lessons learned. The present is an open road, filled with opportunities and choices waiting to be made. And the future, like a distant horizon, holds the promise of what is yet to come. In this symphony, there is a contrast between the delicate sculpted lines of eggs, fragile and vulnerable, and the solid construction that gives them strength and stability. It mirrors the delicate balance of our own lives, where we often find ourselves walking a thin line between good and bad decisions. But just as the strongness of the eggs' construction prevents them from breaking, our own strength, and the support of our friends and loved ones, keeps us from falling down. It is through these connections and relationships that we find the courage to navigate life's challenges and continue moving forward, towards the future that awaits us. This composition Is made from 5types of eggs-small chicken, duck, goose, rhea And ostrich egg. Decorated with Swarovski elements. Previous Next
