Call for entries: Quilting Arts 2009 Calendar contest
2009 Quilting Arts Magazine Calendar Contest
The theme for our Quilting Arts Magazine® 2009 Calendar will be “Celebrating Home.” Show us in stitch, fabric, and embellishment how you celebrate home. You can interpret the theme many ways: as a celebration of the concept of home or what makes a house a home, celebrations at home, honoring the architecture of a residence, moving into the home or community of your dreams, or whatever the theme means to you. The artists who create the 13 winning submissions (one for the cover and 12 for the months) will each receive a $200 gift certificate to our online store.
How it Works
Create up to two original, not previously published, 12″ x 12″ square, embellished art quilts based on the theme of “Celebrating Home.” The quilt(s) must be backed and bound (anything from a traditional binding to a zigzagged or satin-stitched edge is fine, but the edges must be closed). The quilt(s) should also include a sleeve for hanging, as the winning quilts will be displayed at various quilt and textile shows with Quilting Arts Magazine.
Submit three 8″ x 10″ photos of each submission, one of the full quilt and two detail shots. To give your submission the best chance of being accurately evaluated, please make sure the photographs are well-lit, clear, and are printed on photo-quality paper (not copy paper). Please label each photo with your first and last names, address, phone number, and email address.
Along with your photos, please include a brief narrative explaining your interpretation of our theme, “Celebrating Home,” as well as the methods and materials used in your quilt(s).
Deadline for entry: Friday, March 7, 2008. Please note that this is a receive-by date. Your photos and descriptions must be in our office no later than March 7th.
Additional information can be found on the Quilting Arts website.
