Karen Hunter entered this blue ribbon winner in the Die Cut Scrap category, entitled, "Framed Cock Robin."

 

One of my favorite entries in the competition was this "Shirley Temple Press Sheets for Covers and 8 Pages of Clothing."  The publisher was Saalfield and the year 1935.  Mary Young received a blue ribbon for this entry in the category, Celebrity Paper Dolls 1900 to 1940. 

This was a very interesting entry.  This is the original artwork for a paper doll book that was never published.  Marilyn Henry explains that the artist is unknown and the book was neither finished or ever published.  Marilyn received a blue ribbon for this unique entry.  I missed the information on this one but I assume that the category was Original Art, not done by owner after 1940.  But I might have the date wrong.

Elaine Price entered this German paper doll in the category,  Foreign Paper Dolls After 1940.  It is called, "Lenchen Oufdem Masked Ball," and it was published circa 1900.  Elaine won a blue ribbon.

This paper doll is called, "Elegant Costumes of the 2nd Empire."  It is from Mon Journal, Paris, November 1, 1902.  Diana Lax won a blue ribbon for this entry in the category of Non-Celebrity Newspaper or Magazine.

Rebecca Walker Chapman entered this original artwork by Charlotte Whatley for Charlotte's book, Native American Costumes.  Still not sure about the category on this one.  It would seem to be Original Art Not Done by Owner.  But it wasn't on the same table with those entries.  Waiting for more information and then I can edit this post.
