For quilt guilds
The $1,000 Guild Challenge
The guild with the most members entering the show wins $1,000 for their guild. There's nothing for your guild to organise. Each member just types the guild's name when they enter.
How it works
Enter your quilt
Make a quilt for one of the three designer rooms and enter it like anyone else. The entry fee is $35.
Type your guild's name
The entry form has a box called “Guild affiliation.” Type your guild's name there. That's it — it's optional, and it never reaches the judges.
We do the counting
When entries close, we count how many different members of each guild entered. The guild with the most wins $1,000.
Every kind of guild is welcome
Big or small, modern or traditional, in person or online — if your guild has members who quilt, you can take part. Members don't need fancy fabric or a good camera. A phone by a window is plenty for the photos.
Questions
- Does our guild need to sign up?
- No. Your guild doesn't fill in a form or keep track of anything. Members just type the guild's name when they enter.
- Does entering more quilts count more?
- No. We count people, not quilts. A member who enters three quilts counts once, so a guild with lots of members taking part does best.
- Will the judges know which guild I'm in?
- Never. Judging is anonymous. Your guild's name is only used for this count and is kept away from the judges.
- What if people spell our guild's name differently?
- Don't worry. We tidy up small differences in spelling and spacing before we count.
- How is the money paid?
- We contact the winning guild directly after entries close. The $1,000 goes to the guild itself, and the winner is announced at the awards ceremony.
- Can I belong to more than one guild?
- Please choose the one guild you'd like to count toward for this show.
