Slick online entry
The online entry form has been redone with a new template – a very slick look, and all ready for your quilt entry. The form now allows photos to be uploaded. Entry forms and photos sent by email or snail are still okay, but the online method is MUCH easier for the stitched and bound organisers to process.
Check out the online entry form now – its on the Entry form page.
