Rules of Contest
WHO MAY ENTER: The Contest is open to all residents of Connecticut: men, women 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 will then represent that Fair in the State Quilt Contest at the 2009 Spring Meeting of the Association.
JUDGING: The Association of Connecticut Fairs will furnish judges' score sheets to each Fair and the Contestant will receive these sheets at the end of that event. Judging will be based on overall appearance, workmanship and originality. All decisions of the judges are final.
LOCAL CONTEST: The winner of the Quilt 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 Spring Meeting of the Association of Connecticut Fairs. In the event a Fair receives only one entry in the contest, and that entry is worthy of First Prize, the Association Rosette must be awarded to the Contestant.
