Jr and adult..think you are talking dance...not tipi comp.
I am asking tipi competition...where are they and what are the rules or guidelines for the competition? -
Tipis
yes we have divisions....we have some youngsters who like to build thier own mini models of the big tipis...therefore we created them a division of thier own.....It looks real cool to have the smaller versions mixed in with the full size Tipis...It also encourages and trains our youngsters in the art....Comment

Explain more of what you are talking about....You said 5$ for junior and did not give on money for adult...how do you judge? and where and when is this....? Never heard of this type Competition before..../???? do you have a flier for this dance?Comment

Tipis
We have a group of judges chosen from the group attending our event....And in the past have had a ballot system....
Adults pay $25 entry fee....And can earn a $100 dollar prize for best tipi.....I haven't been on the judging group myself so I just have a glimmering of what's judged....But rest assured these rules are similar to the ones put in place at other competitions.....
The junior division was implemented becase of the youngsters in our tribe and the local scouting groups wanting to get in on the competition....We simply wanted to encourage our youngsters to work on an art that seems to be diminishing.. It's always great to see how these young ones come up with ways to build these smaller versions of the tipis....
Yes, we have a flier and press release for this event...you can email me privately...I don't know how to attach in this forum....this is the first time I've been on a chat list....I usually avoid them....Comment

hmmm.... maybe they were having a tipi competition in Vantage when I saw the tipis there.... I know I've been there a couple different years when they were set up.... all decorated and everything.... got pics somewhere too.... I was just passing through at the time so I couldn't stay and find out what was happening."Liberty is the one thing you can't have unless you give it to others."

Well, then I am still looking for places that have tipi competition. And it looks like with the price of gas, that fewer tipis will be going to events.Comment

Tipis,
I went to one in Germany awhile back. It was sponsored by an Indian enthusiast group that set up a 3-day tipi encampment.
There is also a yearly tipi contest at McMurray College in Texas. My dad judges that one.Powwows will continue to evolve in many directions. It is inevitable.Comment

Can you tell us more about that one and how he judges the tipis???Comment

This is second hand info:Originally posted by tipis
Each tipi is tribal specific. He looks at the construction of the tipi to see that the construction fits the tribe. Some of the things he said he looks for are:
1. The starting poles - three or 4 pole?
2. The layering of poles - Comanche, Crow and Lakota are distinct on the placement of the poles.
3. Placement of the fireplace.
4. The canvas construction - perfectly round or long in the back. Why?
5. Tipi flaps - Shape and size. Do they match with the tribe and size of the tipi.
These are some of the general topics he covers. Again this is all from memory.Last edited by WhoMe; 07-14-2005, 09:51 AM.Powwows will continue to evolve in many directions. It is inevitable.Comment

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.06-08-2012, 02:32 PM -

what are some of the ways that you deal with your anger and the person you're angry at? i've tried the deep breathing, listening to soft music, taking a walk, sleeping in the other room, thinking about worst things that i could be mad about but it doesn't help me.07-30-2008, 10:29 AM -
Here we go again. . .
What is our interest there? There are lots of other countries with social unrest. Why do we always get involved with the Middle East?
Should we even be there?03-28-2011, 09:43 AM -
