Upon submission of your entry you agree to hold harmless and forever discharge the State of Ohio, Ohio Expositions Commission, its members, officers, employees, contractors and other authorized agents from any and all claims, actions, causes of actions, demands, costs, or damages that may arise from the loss, theft or other damage to your property during or related to its exhibition.

Entry tag and Quilt & Wall Hanging Description Form must be attached with a small safety pin to each item (front right hand bottom corner).

Quilts and wall hangings will be displayed at the risk of the owner. Creative Arts staff will be in attendance to help monitor exhibits and make every effort to protect them.

A National Quilting Association Certified judge will assess the quilts pre-fair, selecting class standings, Best of Show and first-time entrant winners.

The judge will complete a comment sheet that will be returned with each entry. This sheet provides contestants with skill improvement assessments and helpful comments.

If contestant’s name is sewn into the entry or is on any label, it must be covered for judging.

Entries must be constructed, including quilting, by the contestant (or group depending upon class) and made within the past three years.

Classes 1-8 must be quilted (tufted or tied will not be accepted). All construction, including quilting, must be the work of the

Sleeves - Preparing Your Piece: All entries (except classes 9-10) must have

a sleeve attached securely to the top edge of the quilt to facilitate its hanging on a metal rod.

The sleeve must have a 4” wide opening to accommodate the metal rod and should extend the quilt width to allow the quilt to hang smoothly. Small items (wall hangings, baby and miniature quilts) may have smaller sleeves that can accommodate a dowel or smaller hanging device.

The sleeve may be of a muslin fabric sewn or safety pinned to the back of the quilt (much like a rod heading on a curtain) – absolutely no straight pins. Safety pins should not show through on the front of the quilt.

Entries over 90” long must have a sleeve attached to the back at 90” from the bottom for display.

Quilts with scalloped or irregular edge should have the sleeve positioned in such a way as to have the entire face of the quilt displayed.
