Tips for completing your online entry form:

• One entry per line only.
  • For example, if you are entering an outfit that includes a hat, dress and booties, each item would need to be placed on its own line so that a tag is made for each item.
• Entry must be made under the name of the individual whose exhibit it is. Your entry tag will reflect this. No business or fictitious names.
• Under the section marked “Description” please indicate the color, type or pattern of your entry.
  • For example, if it is a quilt, you can type in the pattern name, or the color of the quilt, just a basic short description.
• Division and class numbers needed to complete your online entry can be found under each competition category (for example, under Arts & Crafts, Quilting, etc.) and must be indicated on your entry or it will not be processed.
