The Association of Connecticut Fairs
2005 STATE QUILT CONTEST

Rules of Contest

WHO MAY ENTER:  The contest at each fair is open to all residents of Connecticut: men, woman or juniors.  If entered by juniors, they will be considered adults. 

HOW TO ENTER:  Any resident of Connecticut entering the Quilt Contest at any fair belonging to the Association of Connecticut Fairs is automatically competing in the local contest.  Contestants may enter the contest in as many fairs as they wish UNTIL they win first prize.  They then will represent that Fair in the State Contest.  Contestants will be subject to the entry rules at the Local Fairs. 

JUDGING: The Association of Connecticut Fairs will furnish judges' score sheets to each Fair and the contestants will receive these sheets at the end of that event. Judging will be based on overall appearance, workmanship and originality. All decision of the judges are final.

LOCAL CONTEST:  The winner of the contest will receive a blue ribbon from the Association of Connecticut Fairs at each fair and will be eligible to submit their entry at the Annual Meeting of The Association.  In the event a fair receives only one entry to the contest and that entry is worthy of the first prize, the Association ribbon must be awarded to the contestant.

 STATE CONTEST:  The annual meeting will be held in November 2003.  Entries will be accepted anytime before 1:00 p.m. only – no later.  THE SECRETARY OF EACH FAIR MUST CONTACT THE WINNER FROM THAT FAIR AND SUPPLY INFORMATION ABOUT DINNER RESERVATIONS, TIME AND PLACE OF ANNUAL MEETING.

The following prizes are to be awarded at the Spring Meeting in each category.

1st Prize - $50.00     2nd Prize - $35.00     3rd Prize - $15.00
