MID SOUTH WOODTURNERS GUILD
Founded 1997
President’s Challenge Award Program
Welcome to the MSWG President's Challenge Award Program page.
Each month, the acting MSWG President will announce a President's Challenge for the coming month. All MSWG members are eligible to participate.
The President's Challenge and its related Award Program are to be focused on member participation by ALL – a personal challenge for each member of individual woodturning goals and trying something new or different.
Let’s “turn” it into judgement-free fun - removing "whose woodturning is best" in skill or as a selection influenced by club politics or friendships, etc.
So, just turn, turn, turn and celebrate creativity, imagination and focused work!
Alternatives if you cannot attend the monthly meeting:
-
Send your President's Challenge to the meeting with a friend or some other person.
-
Send a photo of the item by email to photos@mswg.club along with any special notes.
