CHAPTER SCRAPBOOK GUIDELINES

In response to the many questions and suggestions of those who enterthe Scrapbook competition at Winter Rendezvous, expanded and hopefullymore detailed guidelines are here. By providing a more detailed explanationof the guidelines and addressing concerns, we feel any confusion ormisunderstandings might be alleviated.

Some past competitions have seen more show than content. Our goalis to provide elements that will illuminate the content of a Chapter'sScrapbook.

1. Judging will be based on content, NOT the cover or a display.

2. Any scrapbook that is set-up on a special stand or displuy, willbe disqualified in judging.

3. During the time of the judging of the Chapter Scrapbooks, thecover of those scrapbooks in the competition will NOT BEVIEWED BY TFIE JUDGES. The Cover of the scrapbook willbe in the open position.

4. General overall appearance should portray the image ofGWRRA. Both Chapter motorcycle events and Chapter non-motorcycle events should be shown in the scrapbook.Example: Chapter Halloween or Christmas parties, etc. alongwith motorcycle events

5. Content: A. Title page with Chapter designation, State,Region and National identification.

B. Table of contents.C. Roster of Chapter Officers and StaffI). Membership Roster with GWRRA membership

numbers.E. Picture of Chapter flag, if chapter has oneF. Picture of Chapter patch, if chapter has oneG. Brief History of the ChapterH. Copy of each month's newsletter from current

yeat.

I. Scrapbook should be organized in Chronologicalorder from January 1$ through December 31" of

the year.J. Pages may have captions. Captions explain what

event, why, when, where, and who the participantsare. This gives the person viewing the scrapbookunderstanding and knowledge of the pictures or ititems on each page.

K. Pictures may also have captions. Remember,this will be around for years to come. Alsoother people than those in your chapter will beviewing this scrapbook both now and in thefuture they will not know the names, events,whys, or wherefores of the contents of theChapter Scrapbook unless there aresome captions providing that information tothem.

Guidelines for what photos and items CAN be included in theChapter Scrapbook: Photos and items exhibited in thescrapbook must originate from the events listed in the ChapterCalendar in the Chapter Newsletter.

Photos and items from "Great Lakes" Region D Rally,Indiana Spring Wing Warm - Up, Ohio State Rally, MichiganRally, Wing Ding, Indiana State Ride-In, ffid WinterRendezvous may be included. If Ohio's Cabin Fever weekend,Michigan's Wingless Weekend have been advertised in thechapter's newsletter and chapter members have registered to goand have gone to these events, those photo's and items fromthese events may be included in the scrapbook.

Personal vacation photos are not to be included in thechapter scrapbook . They are not chapter events. No, thelisting of a personal vacation in the newsletter does notconstifute a chapter event. A personal vacation is still apersonal vacation. BUT, if during that personal vacation thechapter member pays a registration fee or a daily fee andattends any of the above listed events and those events havebeen advertised in the Chapter newsletter, photos and itemsdealing with those events may be included in the ChapterScrapbook.

If during a personal vacation a Chapter member attendsother GWRRA District Rally's not in the Great Lakes RegionD, or another Region's Rally and paid to attend that Rally,

pictures and items dealing with only that event may be includedin the Chapter Scrapbook.

If during a personal vacation a Chapter member visits aGWRRA Chapter in another State or Country, photos and itemsdealing only with that visitation of that chapter may be includedin the Scrapbook.

Be creative and imaginative when assembling the Chapterscrapbook. The contents and layout of the scrapbook projectsthe image and personality of the Chapter. The scrapbook tells astory of events and achievements ofthe past year of theChapter.

Scrapbooks may contain photos of each chapter member. Thiscan be a group photo or individual photos. With or withoutmotorcycles. In Chapter unifonn or in riding gear. Lots ofpossibilities with this one.

Scrapbooks must be the product of a non-professional. Noprofessionally or commercially generated scrapbooks.

10. Judges will also be looking for creativlf, captions, the generaltheme of GWRRA, layout, qualrty of photos, and artisticqualities.

REMEMBER: TFIE WHOLE OBJECT OF THIS IS TO HAVEFUNWHILE COMPILINGTFIE GOOD TIMES ANDFUNTFMCHAPTER HAS EXPERIENCED, INTO A CHAPTER SCRAPBOOK.First and foremost this scrapbook is for the chapter. The Scrapbook displayat Winter Rendezvous is a way of sharing the chapter's pride with otherGWRRA chapters. The judging is a bonus and a form of recognition.

You will notice the major change involves the cover of the Scrapbook.This was done to standardize the judging and put the emphasis on contentnot display of the Scrapbook.

These expanded guidelines were written April 10, 1998, revisedJanuary 19,1999 and do become effective immediately.
