In my capacity as Australian Coordinator for the World Quilt Competition, I invite Australian quilters to enter the 2015 contest.* Entries can be submitted online, by e-mail or by post. The closing date for entries is 18 May 2015.
If you have ever wanted to share your quilts internationally, this is a great opportunity to tour in the United States to quilt shows run by Mancuso Show Management. Accepted entries will premiere at the World Quilt Show – New England XIII (13-15 August 2015) and tour on to the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza, QuiltFest Oasis Palm Springs, the Pacific International Quilt Festival and possibly other venues from August 2015 through January 2016.
Innovative & traditional entries compete for over US$10,000 in cash, prizes & awards including Best of World, Best Use of Colour, Best Traditional, Best Innovative, Best of Country & Viewer’s Choice.
Many countries are represented including Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom & the United States. (A country must have ten entries to qualify for the Best of Country award.)
