21 Stonemasonry The Stonemasonry category will encompass practical tasks in stone shaping and carving. The time allocated for the project will be 22 hours spread over four days. Competitors will be issued with the preliminary tasks and sample materials three months before the competition. The judges will change the preliminary task by around 30% prior to the competition. The ornament carving task will be a surprise assignment prepared by the Finnish specialist. The materials will be marble and limestone. The first assignment will be a carving task, involving carving an ornamental design in a marble slab. The design for the second task will be based on the shape of the Ionic column. A day before the event, competitors will get the chance to see the working area and find out more about the competition and the assessment criteria. After the event, competitors will receive individual face-to-face feedback from the judges. The panel of judges will include specialists within their field, led by a top expert.
