ANG Seminar February 2017 - 42

Exhibit Categories
For judging purposes, ANG distinguishes between the nonprofessional and the professional as follows:
Nonprofessional: Anyone who, at the time of entry submission and previously, engages in needlework as a pastime and for pleasure
rather than for financial gain. Teaching or presenting programs/lectures for guilds without compensation, or for community service
will not change the status of a nonprofessional.
Professional: Anyone who, at the time of entry submission and previously, engages in needlework as a teacher, judge, artist/designer, lecturer, author, or who stitches for commissioned work and who receives earned remuneration.

The ANG Exhibit judged categories:
1. ORIGINAL is a unique, one-of-a-kind design interpreted within the ANG definition of needlepoint from the mind and hands
of the artist/stitcher to whom it is credited. The design should
bear no recognizable influence from any other textile sources.
Any stitch that can be accomplished with a threaded, handheld
needle may be used in the interpretation of the design. A typed,
double-spaced, one-page Artist's Statement must accompany each
Original entry, along with the original sketches and/or photographs, and include an explanation of inspirational sources. Unusual techniques and materials used in the development of the
design or execution of the finished work must be explained. The
Original entry must be the work of the exhibiting artist, with no outside help from any other person.
2. ADAPTATION is a design translated or adapted from a design
source created in a medium other than textiles. The adaptation
may be an exact visual needlepoint reproduction of the original
design or may contain easily recognizable elements from that design. Any stitch that can be accomplished with a threaded, handheld needle may be used in the interpretation of the design. A
typed, double-spaced Artist's Statement must accompany each
Adaptation entry, along with the original sketches or photographs,
and must include an explanation of inspirational sources. Unusual
techniques and materials used in the development of the design or
execution of the finished work must be explained. The Adaptation
must be the work of the exhibiting artist, with no outside help from
any other person.

3. INDEPENDENT PROJECT is a design worked without person-to-person interaction, without a teacher in a physical classroom environment; for example, Workshop by Mail, needlepoint
book, graph chart, leaflet, line drawing, or kit.
4. PAINTED DESIGN WITHOUT STITCH GUIDE is a needlepoint
worked on a prepainted or stamped canvas or on a canvas designed for the exhibitor. The choice of stitches, thread, and color
are those of the exhibitor with no teacher interaction.
5. PAINTED DESIGN WITH STITCH GUIDE is a needlepoint
worked on a prepainted or stamped canvas or on a canvas designed for the exhibitor. It is accompanied by written instructions or suggestions for stitches, threads, and/or colors (i.e. stitch
guide) with no teacher interaction.
6. CLASS PROJECT is a needlepoint worked with person-to-person interaction between the student and the teacher, i.e., Seminar
classes, instruction in shops, chapter meeting programs, workshops, Correspondence Courses, and CyberWorkshops. This
includes painted canvas embellishment classes in which the instructor provides stitch and thread suggestions. The teacher and
the title of the class must be listed.

The ANG Exhibit nonjudged categories:
7. NONJUDGED is any entry the stitcher does not wish to have
judged or voted upon by Registrants.
8. YOUTH is a nonjudged category with no entry fee and is limited
to two entries per person. Current age of stitcher must be less
than 16 years old. The stitcher is not required to be an ANG member, but must be sponsored by an ANG member.
