ANG Seminar February 2017 - 6

Closing Banquet

Friday, September 1, 6:30 p.m.
It's time to say farewell and celebrate the awarding of the coveted ribbons to those chosen from all Exhibit entries: People's
Choice and Delegates' Choice. At this banquet, we make lots
of special announcements, which might include the winners
of the Louise Meier Scholarships, ANG's Literary Award, the

Forney First-Timer's Scholarship, and Presidential Citations.
This is also the night that ANG's Certification Programs award
credentials and pins to those completing another level of their
certification: Judging, Master Teacher, Master Needle Artist,
Master Needlepointer, and Needlework Appraisal.
Help us close another exciting Seminar, and start planning
with us for our 2018 Seminar in Washington, DC!

Special Awards
The PRINCESS GRACE AWARD may be given to any entry, in
any judged category, that is worked entirely in the tent stitch,
without embellishments, such as beads or other attachments,
in order to maintain the purity of the stitching technique. The
tent stitch is defined as going over one intersection from lower
left to upper right with no backstitches, seed stitches, or outline
stitches.
The SAMPLER AWARD may be given to an entry that is a collection of patterns, stitches, and techniques put together in a convenient reference form on a readily counted ground. The award
may be given for an entry in any category, including historical
reproductions and class projects that meet the stated criteria.

The CREATIVE INSPIRATION AWARD may be given for a
piece in the Original or Adaptation category that the judges
decide is best in creative design and its elements, which includes the use of color. An Artist's Statement must accompany
the entry.
The WEARABLE ART AWARD may be given to an entry in the
Original, Adaptation, or Painted Design Without Stitch Guide
category that the judges decide demonstrates the most creative
wearable canvas embroidery, excluding name tags.
