Entry Rules

You must be a current SCVQA member to enter a quilt in the show.
One entry per person is guaranteed to be in the show. Up to two additional entries may be hung as space allows.
Each entry must be submitted on a separate entry form.
You will be notified if your second or third entry cannot be hung.
You are responsible for insuring your own entries.
Quilts must have a 4-inch hanging sleeve on the back. For more detail on creating a hanging sleeve, click here.
Quilts must have a paper Entry Label sewn to it. (Click here for the label or refer to the April newsletter.)
If an entry requires special hanging or handling, please email the information to quiltshow@scvqa.org by March 26, 2022.
The SCVQA photo policy will extend to the entries and participants of the Quilt Show.
"Members of the Association consent to have their name, photos and likenesses of themselves and their work published by SCVQA in association with its work on social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), our web site, press, advertising, and in any publications SCVQA may produce from time to time." We will encourage people to give appropriate credit if they use a photo of your quilt, but we cannot enforce a ban on photography.
