THE MERIT AWARDS GET OFF TO A GOOD START. BY LARRY BROWNE, EDITOR Leave a comment
The merit awards scheme has started well and with some impressive examples of the talent within UK and Ireland. Many of you may have been wondering what exactly would be needed to send in your own examples of technical work and now you can see clearly what is required.
In last month’s journal we featured the first batch of submissions. Very Impressive examples of what is required. Now you have seen these perhaps you will feel like submitting your own examples of your work.
The aim of the Awards scheme is to have technicians judging technicians, not some commercialisation for extra sales or for the submissions to be encouraged by a particular manufacturer or agent for a particular material. All materials and every mixture you decide is needed for the case should qualify.
So now there may be a time of things getting a little quiet, coming up, perhaps it is a good opportunity to show what you are made of. Prosthetics, Ceramics, Crown and Bridge, Max Fac. and Orthodontics are all equally included and will be judged by a recognised expert in the field.
You may be curious about what the general standard is, you may want to see what is judged to be the best in your own area of interest, you may just want of show the world of dentistry how good you can be, but whatever the reason you will know it will be judged fairly by experts. The following are chosen as the first batch of winners, which will be added to until it is time to announce the overall winners in each category. There is still plenty of time to add your own examples. I think you will agree that those who have already submitted have set a high standard. Why not show you can fit into this quality of excellence with yourown examples. We are looking forward to seeing quite a lot more submissions before the final date and we intend to continue with the Merit Awards every year. Perhaps it is time to be recognised as one of the elite and able technicians in these Islands.
Make your statement with a piece of technical magic to impress the judges.
