JUDGING METHOD
Our show is judged by the Elimination Method.  Awards are given in each categories at the sole discretion of the judges. 

Attendees cast their vote in choosing the Viewer's Choice (the Harriett Merriam Award).  Be sure to cast your vote before leaving the show. 

We have two awards that are voted on by the membership:  Members Choice (ballots are completed at the Preview Party and the award will be placed on the winning entry before the opening of the show on Friday) and the Theme Challenge Award.  The winning Challenge quilt will be selected by popular vote of guild members during the Sepember meeting. 

Each judge may select a quilt or wearable art as their "Judge's Choice".  The entry will be identified by a special ribbon and certificate signed by the specific judge. 

Please note: the above categories for entries may change without notice.
