PRESIDENT'S CHOICE AWARD: "All that glitters is sapphire
and gold." As ANG turns 45, with thoughts to our 50th celebration, create a timeless masterpiece that intertwines the two
colors and encompasses all that ANG means to you. Stitches
and techniques you have learned, friends you have made, and
memories you have shared over the years. The possibilities are
infinite. Let the magic begin!

The FIRST-TIME EXHIBITOR AWARD may be given to an entry in any judged category that is stitched by a first-time exhibitor. A first-time exhibitor is defined as a person entering the Exhibit for the very first time. Anyone who has entered anything

professional, in a past Exhibit is excluded. Also excluded are
teaching pieces for past or future seminars, and distance learning and certification programs.

demonstrates the most effective use of Hilton-type stitches. An
entry in any category may qualify for this ribbon.
The STATE AWARD may be given to an entry in any judged category of the Exhibit that is entered by a person from the state of California, this year's Seminar locale. Traditionally, this award is chosen by a representative of the state in which Seminar is being held.
