CREATE YOUR STYLE Art Quilting Design Contest 2012

from 2012/01/01 until 2012/06/01

“Be inspired by the Sound of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS” and enter the first CREATE YOUR STYLE Art Quilting Design Contest!

We celebrated our return to the International Quilt Festival 2011 with the kick-off of the first ever CREATE YOUR STYLE Art Quilting Design Contest for 2012 – “Be inspired by the sound of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS”. Taking inspiration from the world of music, contestants are required to design an original quilt using SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to express their own personal design theme.

A jury of leading industry experts will judge the quilts on the creativity and uniqueness of the design, the successful incorporation of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS into the quilt, the quality of the workmanship and overall presentation. All applications must be submitted by June 1, 2012, after which a short list of 30 semifinalists will be chosen and, in the end, only 10 finalists will be selected. The finalists will be invited to attend the 2012 Quilt Festival where the jury will announce the top three winners. A substantial cash award as well as an extensive selection of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS await the winner and the first and second runners-up. In addition, Swarovski’s sewing machine sponsor for this contest, PFAFF, will award a state-of-the-art sewing machine to each of the three winning participants.
