Rules and Regulations:
1. The entry form deadline is July 1, 2006. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THAT DATE.
2. All entries must NOT have been in any previous Waco quilt show.
3. Please submit one entry form per item.
4. A photo of the entry is to be attached to each entry form.
5. Deliver all entries to Chisholm Hall at the Waco Convention Center on Wednesday, Aubust 16, 2006, between 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m.
6. For the brief time entries are not hung, they will be stored in plastic bags, which will be provided by the Guild.
7. Entries must be clean and in good condition.
8. Quilts must have a 4" sleeve sewn across the top of the back for hanging. Our hanging system will accommodate a quilt 90" square. It may be necessary to hang larger quilts in such a way that the lower edge is on the floor. In such cases, a floor covering will be placed under the quilt to protect it, or it will be carefully pinned up so as not to touch the floor.
9. The exhibitor's name, address, and phone number must be on the back of each entry. The name may be permanently attached or on a piece of fabric temporarily basted, not pinned, to the back. The information may be written on the hanging sleeve.
10. Items entered under the categories of miniature quilts, wearable art, small items, and antique quilts are not required to have a sleeve.
11. Categories on the entry form are a guideline for exhibitors and the show committee. The show committee reserves the right to rearrange, modify, or create new categories as required. Final decisions regarding categories will be determined by the show committee.
12. All entries must be picked up at the Waco Convention Center's Chisholm Hall on Saturday, August 19, 2006, between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. A receipt will be required in order to pick up an entry.
13. Protection: The building has complete fire control and security. Show volunteers will assist in installation of exhibits and will serve as Hostess/ Monitors for all display areas during public viewing hours.
14. Judging: Entries will be judged by a panel of quilt experts on Thursday, August 17, 2006. Exhibitors should indicate on the entry form if they intend for the entry to be judged, both judged and critiqued, or entered for display only.
15. Awards: Judges will be allowed to determine the number of ribbons awarded in each category ... 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place(s). There will be three Judges' Choice ribbons and one Best of Show ribbon awarded after judging is completed. One Viewers' Choice ribbon will be awarded at the conclusion of the show.
