Deadline for Entry Forms for the competition is now PAST. Good luck to all taking part! Below is a description of the competition and the guidance for entries.
The NFWI is pleased to announce a competition, sponsored by the UK Hand Knitting Association, to design and make an accessory in hand knitting or crochet using yarn distributed by members of the association. Pick up your needles and hooks. Be inspired to create something original with fascinating fibres and tantalising textures in sumptuous shades.
- All entries must be accompanied by a short statement describing the inspiration for the work and an explanation if a pattern has been adapted. Please state the name of the retailer/s where the yarn was purchased and attach yarn bands. The competition is open to all WI members and the NFWI
Associates who have paid their subscriptions for 2008. - Entries can either be posted or delivered by hand to the NFWI Unit at Denman College to arrive by 17 July 2009. Each entry should be clearly labelled with the class, competitor’s name, address, telephone number, WI and federation (details will be covered during judging to ensure absolute anonymity).
- Judging will take place at Denman College in August 2009. The judges’ decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
- Winning entries. The 10 winners in each class will be displayed at ICHF Sewing for Pleasure and Creative Stitches shows in autumn 2009/spring 2010 (details on www.theWI.org.uk, www.ichf.co.uk, and www.ukhandknitting.com)
- Prize-winning entries will be retained by the NFWI for publicity purposes until March 2010. Unsuccessful entries may be collected from the NFWI Unit, or returned by post if postage is included with work sent.
While all reasonable care will be taken, the NFWI cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss to any entry submitted. Members may insure entries if they wish.
