2018 Seminar Exhibit
Exhibit Rules

1. Entry in the Exhibit is restricted to members of ANG
in good standing, youth entries, and invited entries.
All entries must conform to the ANG definition of
needlepoint: "Counted or free stitchery worked by hand
with a threaded needle on a readily counted ground."
2. ANG welcomes a group display of non-judged Chapter
Projects. We also welcome judged or non-judged Group
Entries. Please contact the secretary (secretary@
needlepoint.org) for additional information.

3. Works previously entered in judged categories of an
ANG Seminar Exhibit are not eligible for entry.
4. The Exhibit Entry Form and the information it contains
are the responsibility of the exhibitor: Submission in
the proper category is the exhibitor's responsibility. If
the judges decide that an entry has been submitted in
an improper category, the entry may be moved to the
correct category. The decision of the judges is final.
All entries submitted for judging will be judged unless
disqualified.
5. You MUST include an Artist's Statement with an entry in
the Original or Adaptation category. Include the name of
the entry on the Artist's Statement; do not include your
name. The statement must be typed, double-spaced
and fit on approximately one page. Include supporting
charts and/or photos as required.
6. You may request a written critique by one of the Exhibit
judges for an additional fee of $25 per critique on the
Exhibit Entry Form. Multiple piece entries requesting
critiques will receive a critique of one to two (1-2)
individual pieces of the judges choice.
7. At the conclusion of the Exhibit, each exhibitor will
receive the judges' scores on the Exhibit Report Form.
8. ANG strongly recommends that glass or Plexiglas be
removed before a piece is submitted to the Exhibit.
Aside from breakage in transit, needlework under
glass creates a glare. It is difficult to judge these items
because light reflection casts shadows, and stitches
may appear distorted. Any piece with glass or Plexiglas
will automatically have five (5) points deducted from
the score in the finishing element, unless the judges
deem such use is an integral part of the design and/or
presentation.
9. No entry shall exceed 132 inches circumference,
including the frame, nor weigh more than 10 pounds.

10. Pieces to be hung must have picture wire from edge to
edge, with no saw-tooth, center-hanging devices. The
exhibitor may include suggestions for display; ANG will
make the final decision.
11. Complete Section I of the Exhibit Entry Form, on page
49 in the brochure, for each entry. Also complete the
ANG Photo Release Form (www.needlepoint.org). Photo
Release is required from the Designer and Teacher (if
different than Designer).
Mail Section I of the Exhibit Entry Form and the Photo
Release Form with a check for fees (payable to ANG) to
Laurie Kelly, 4525 Achilles Lane, Marshall, VA 20115.
Questions may be sent to Exhibit@needlepoint.org.
Entry form(s) must be postmarked no later than June
15, 2018.
12. The Exhibitor is responsible for adequately insuring
pieces during transit. ANG will provide insurance for the
stated value of the item while it is in our custody. If you do
not specify a value, ANG will insure the entry for $125.
13. Shipped entries must arrive no earlier than July 27, 2018
and no later than August 14, 2018. Ship to: Norma Hiller,
1604 Park Overlook Drive, Reston, VA 20190-4919.
* Do not use loose styrofoam peanuts to pack your
piece.
* Hand-delivered entries must be presented to
the Exhibit Chair at the Seminar Exhibit Hall
on Monday August 20, 2018, between 8 a.m.
and noon. NO EXCEPTIONS TO DELIVERY
DEADLINES WILL BE GIVEN.
14. The exhibitor must include a prepaid, return shipping
label with sufficient insurance coverage and a tracking
number from UPS or Fed Ex if they wish their piece to
be returned in a timely manner. If the exhibitor fails to
include a prepaid shipping label, they will be billed for
shipping, and the pieces will not be returned until the
shipping bill is paid. This could mean a delay of a month
or more before the piece is returned. Any pieces that
remain unclaimed 30 days after the close of Seminar will
be donated to the ANG Auction.
15. To retrieve a piece from the Exhibit, you, or your
designee, must present your Personal Pickup Slip as
proof of authorization for the pickup of that piece.
Pickup will be at the Seminar Exhibit Hall on Monday,
August 27, 2018 from 1:00-5:00 p.m.
16. One "Exhibitor" pin will be given to each exhibitor,
regardless of the number of entries.
