Who are the judges? How do they judge? Who can enter? Lots of questions that need to be asked. Is it juts TC or all of tiki culture outside of TC too? How do we include non TC tiki people? Also, someone like Benzart could take out best carver every year (and he would deserve it too). Do we want the same person to win every year. Could you only win once? Should we have an encouragement award for newbies? I think we need to recognise our existing talent, and also promote and foster newbies too. We were all newbies when we began. Maybe a tiki hall of fame for the masters? With a new entrant each year? Like Shag? Just some thoughts, we need to think about what we are doing.
