Knitting Contest Rules

TKGV Knitting Contest Rules

1.     The contest is open to all.

2.     All items should be recently knitted (within the last couple years), clean, blocked and free of all odors.  All work must be the work of the participant.

3.     An article may be entered in one category only.  A maximum of one entry per category will be accepted from a participant.  There is a $2.00 fee per article entered.

4.     All entries must include an entry form, fee, and a 3x5 card with category and description of item to include the fiber used.  Entries will be submitted in a sealed box, bag or container and can be turned in at a guild meeting, The Knitting Corner, The Yarn Club, or Knitwits.

5.     The deadline for all entries is May 12, 5:00 pm.

6.     A panel of qualified judges will judge entries.  Judges have the right to move items to a better category or create sub categories if the number of entries warrants it.  Judges are not required to award all ribbons, if in their opinion the entries are not appropriate quality.  Judges’ decisions are final.

7.     Ribbons will be awarded for 1^st through 4^th place and a cash award of $15.00 for each 1^st place finish in each category.  A Best in Show will also be selected and awarded a ribbon and a cash award of $25.00.
