Judged Entry Rules​
​It is the entrant’s responsibility to select the appropriate category. Quilts that do not meet the category guidelines will be judged, but may not be eligible for ribbon consideration.

False backs will not be allowed. A false back is defined as a backing that has been attached to a piece after quilting has been completed so that quilting does not show on the back of the quilt.

The committee may also, at their discretion, move an entry to a different judging division. The committee may also combine or split judging divisions depending on the number of entries. Our goal is to have relatively equal category sizes.

Entries will be judged and ribbons may be awarded, at the judge’s discretion, for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honorable Mention in each category.

The Best of Show awards (large and small) will be selected from the first place winners in each category.
​
Ribbons will be awarded to the entrant with an additional ribbon for the quilter if different from the entrant.

Decisions of the judge are final.
  • ​Additional ribbons awarded will be:
  • Best in Show − Large (Width larger than 80”)
  • Best in Show − Small (Width less than 80”)
  • Best Piecing
  • Best Special Technique - Large
