Please read the following sections carefully before submitting an entry
as some things are being done differently at this year's show!
Entries and photos: 11 PM (Eastern Time) on March 31st. Submissions missing this deadline will not be accepted.
Fees for 'For Sale' signs must be received by the Registrar by April 14th. If you miss this deadline, your request will be denied but your entry into the show will not be affected.
Most of the information you need to know can be found in the following documents. (Each document is just a single 2-sided sheet, so it won't take you long to read through them!)
- Entry Rules and Instructions (last revised 9 January, 2025)
- Entry Categories and Awards (last revised 17 December, 2024)
- How to Make a Hanging Sleeve
- Entry Worksheet (optional printed form to assist you in preparing your entry information)
If you still have questions:
- email the Registrar at entryform@ottawavalleyquiltersguild.org, or
- visit the Quilt Show breakout room before the February, March, and April monthly meetings on Zoom between 7 and 7:30 pm.
You can use the worksheet to print out and prepare your entry information in advance. The questions in the worksheet are in the same order as in the online form. Several questions will require some thought and maybe some research to get the details correct. Be especially careful about the answers that will appear on the quilt label at the show (these are identified on the worksheet). You won't want errors and typos in those!
Your entry is incomplete without a digital colour photo of the quilted item. Your item does not have to be complete at the time you submit your entry, but the photo must be recognizable as to pattern, colour, and style.
After you submit your entry, simply reply to the confirmation email you receive and: a) attach a photo of the entry, or b) specify a photo link to it. (If you include a photo link, be sure that you have first shared the photo so that anyone can view it.)
There is no fee to submit entries to the 2025 Quilt Show. However, if you want the Guild to attach a "FOR SALE" notice to an entry and connect you with potential purchasers, you must pay a $25 fee for each such entry.
You can pay any fees due:
Please indicate your name and the quilt title on your payment. If you have multiple quilts for sale you may pay all fees in one payment, but your name and every quilt title for which you are paying fees must be listed so the Registrar can associate the payment with the correct entries.
Please ensure that your quilt is insured under your personal household policy. We will make every effort to protect your work, but we do not carry insurance to cover the value of the quilt.
You fill out the form by answering the questions in the area below. Move between questions using the Tab key or your mouse, or by touch, depending on your device type. Make sure your email address is typed correctly.
Start filling out the form at the "Member name" question. You can ignore any "Sign in to Google" message or any "email address Switch account" message you see above that question, as this is not required and does not affect your entry.
When you have completed the form click the "Submit" button at the bottom, then go further down and click the "Return to Top" link to confirm that your entry was received. The confirmation notice will give you instructions about what you need to do next to complete your entry.
