Covid Quilt Contest

Many of us quilters have been busy quilting while we’ve been quarantining at home. Let’s see what you’ve completed! Enter your “Covid” quilts for a chance to win money and a membership in the International Quilters’ Guild (IQG)! 

• Quilts must have been completed between April 1, 2020, and September 30, 2020. 
• There will be two categories, based on size: Quilts that are less than 200″ in circumference (e.g., 40″ x 60″ or 50″ square) and quilts larger than that.
• You may enter only one quilt per category. 
• Contest is open to anyone worldwide.  
• You may enter quilts completed by more than one person; however, each named quilter can only enter one quilt in each category.  
• Winners will be chosen by votes solicited between October 1 and 18, 2020. Winners will be announced Monday, October 19, 2020. 
• Anyone will be allowed to vote, but each person can only vote once per category. If there is a tie, the winner will be chosen by random number generator. 
• There will be three prizes in each of the two categories:
  • First prize: $50 USD plus a 1-year membership in the International Quilters’ Guild (value: $240). 
  • Second prize: $25 USD plus a 6-month membership in the International Quilters’ Guild (value: $120). 
  • Third prize: $25 USD plus a 3-month membership in the International Quilters’ Guild (value: $60). 
• If the winner is a current member of the IQG, the membership portion of the prize will be added to her existing membership. 
• Money will be sent to the winners via a payment app (such as Venmo or PayPal) or a check drawn on a U.S. bank (winner’s choice). 
• Details about the IQG membership are available here.
• By entering, winners give IQG permission to use photos of their quilts and their names for promotional purposes.  
• By entering, your email address will be added to the mailing list for the International Quilters’ Guild. You may unsubscribe at any time. 
• Deadline for entries is midnight, US Eastern time, on Wednesday, September 30, 2020.
