12. An Artist’s statement (Design inspiration) of up to 30 words and a list of Techniques and Materials are
required by the selectors and for the catalogue for each entry.

13. The selectors can only work from your photos, so make sure you sell your work to the best of your ability. There are many articles online to assist with how to do this.  Try this to get you going:

Take two high-resolution, in focus photos of your work in good natural light - one of the whole work including borders, and one a detail of a smaller area.  One side of your photo should be at least 1800 pixels.
Save the photo in .jpeg format and crop out any background.
The detail photo might be up to 20-25% of the work, or a representative area (25-30cm Square) showing your stitching, design focus, embellishments etc.  Enlarging an area of a whole-work photo will not give the detail area a high resolution, so take a second photo for this.

14. Name your photograph files according to the following:

Surname Initial_Quilt name_full/detail.jpg
eg GummowS_Flowers_detail.jpg

It is most important that your Surname is the first thing in the filename as this is used to sort photos etc for catalogues etc.  It takes a lot of work to rename files if they are not done correctly, and the committee reserves the right to not consider entries where no attempt has been made to comply with this condition.

15. Measure your quilt (Height x Width in cm)

16. Prepare your responses to the 'Techniques and Materials' and 'Design Inspirations' boxes (max 30 words) in the entry form.
