2006 Contest Information and Entry Form 

At the 2006 show we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Vermont Quilt Festival and the 28th year of the Quilt Contest.  To help commemorate this wonderful event, a special theme award has been added to the contest.  The theme is:  “Stars of Vermont” which is also the title of our 2006 stunning raffle quilt. 

This special award is for the quilt which best expresses our theme and is not a new category within the contest.  If you would like your quilt to be considered for this special award, circle the “yes” on #21 of your contest entry form.  We also ask you to tell us why you believe your quilt is a “Star of Vermont” quilt.  This special theme award is open to all contest entrants.  Thanks for helping us celebrate 30 great years of quilting!
