Quilts not picked up at the show will be shipped to the entrants only if a pre-paid shipping label has been included with the entry.

1. Winner of Best of Show (BOS) cannot have won the BOS award for either of the two prior CVQG quilt shows.

2. No quilt can win more than two monetary awards. If it is considered for more than two (2), the judge would decide which two, except in the case of viewer’s choice. If the quilt wins Viewer’s Choice, it will then be a third monetary award.

3. You may enter any of the quilts you, or you with another person, have finished after June 2018.

4. No quilt entries may exceed a Width of 118” or a Length of 120”.

5. The cost for Student / Senior entry, whether judged or not judged, is $5.00 each for up to three (3) quilts. Seniors must be 80 years old or older and Students must be 18 years old or younger.

6. All entries require two color photos (4” x 6” photo stock paper only) to be submitted for each quilt. One photo is to be a picture of the entire completed quilt. The second photo is to be a close-up of your work. On the back of each photo, please print name, phone number, name of the quilt and the quilt dimensions. Please include the photos, but do not staple them to the form. Remember, your quilt’s image is all that the potential jurors see in evaluating your quilt, so the quality of the image is extremely important.

7. Entry forms must be filled out completely and signed. One quilt entry per form. Keep a copy of the entry form(s) for your records

8. Entry forms and fees may be submitted by mail to either:

Sarah Jo McKee
1452 Cardiff Drive, Gardnerville, NV 89410
Terrie Peets
P. O. Box 234, Markleeville, CA 96120
Please use the “Check List” shown on the last page for quilt entry fee determinations.

9. All quilts must have a 4-inch finished sleeve sewn onto the back at the top of the quilt. Your sleeve must meet these requirements in order to accommodate show frames. Non-compliance with these requirements may result in elimination. You MUST cover any personal label with a piece of muslin or other fabric. It may be safety pinned or basted. At “Take In,” on Tuesday, May 31st, a show identification label will be pinned to your quilt back.

10. Multiple paneled quilts must be mounted on black fabric which has a four-inch (4”) sleeve. Top half of quilt should be sewn securely to black fabric with bottom of each quilt loose for judging. These quilts are considered one entry and are eligible for one prize. Measurements apply to entire ensemble.

11. All large quilts with a length of 90” to 120” inches must also have a 4-inch finished sleeve sewn onto the BOTTOM BACK of the quilt. Your sleeve must meet these requirements to accommodate show frames. Non-compliance with these requirements may result in elimination.

12. No false backed quilts will be eligible for judging or prize money. The judge needs to be able to see the quality of quilting front and back. All art quilts must meet the definition of a quilt. Quilting must be on backing and “touchable” – do not cover quilting.

13. CVQG acknowledges that it is very difficult to have a clear definition of “original design” when it comes to artwork, including quilts. As such, CVQG relies upon entrants to be honest when submitting quilts for consideration in the 2022 Quilt Show and to provide complete and accurate information as requested on the entry form.

14. The determination of awards by the judge is final. At the judge’s discretion, Honorable Mention Ribbons may be awarded with no prize money awarded.

15. Carson Valley Quilt Guild reserves the right:

• To refuse to hang any quilt that exhibits poor quality construction, has been misrepresented by photographs, is soiled, or stained, or does not adhere to the size restrictions.
• To combine categories, depending on the number of entries.
• To jury quilt entries, if necessary, due to the number of entries.
• To change a category, if deemed, that the entry better fits into another category.

16. If you are mailing quilts to the show, you are responsible for mailing costs to and from the show. A return pre-paid shipping label must be included with entry. Quilts must be received no sooner than May 24, 2022, and no later than May 27, 2022.

17. Insurance is the sole responsibility of the entrant. CVQG and its sponsors assume no liability for the loss or damage to the quilts. CVQG will take every precaution to protect your items.

18. Quilts will be ready for pick up Sunday, June 5, 2022, after the take down of the show at the Douglas County Community and Senior Center. Quilts will be handed to you by a show representative. Please have the entry receipt, which you received at “Take In,” ready for verification. We will release quilts no sooner than 5:45 pm.

19. If you made arrangements for your quilt(s) to be returned by mail or other type of parcel service, the entry committee will complete this activity within 10 days of the end of the show using the return label/postage and container that you included with the quilt entry. (see #16 above)

20. The following may be judged but are NOT eligible for prize money.

• Tied: Layers are joined using yarn or floss and tied with a knot at intervals across the quilt. Exception: Crazy Quilts and Students.
• Kit: A kit is defined as a project purchased in its entirety which includes pre-selected fabrics for a particular pattern. A kit is also considered as such if someone buys a pattern and uses substantially the same fabrics and/or color placement in a kit or as shown on the pattern.
• Block of the Month: These are a type of kit with pattern and specific fabric selected to be used for each block. Exception: If entrant has selected a different group of fabrics.
• Panels: Large section of a fabric that is a “stand alone” section that could be used for the entire quilt top. Exception: If the panel is significantly altered in such a way that it is no longer recognized as its original concept.
• “Row by Row Experience”: These quilts will only be accepted in the non-judged categories.
