The work of art should be made mainly of wood. There are a number of very large, old trees at the Eppstein Forest Compound which have been felled for a variety of reasons and would normally be shredded. These silent witnesses of time offer the sculptor the perfect opportunity for creating meaningful works of art. The organiser does not set further specific requirements for the subject chosen or the techniques used.
