1. ENTRY FORMS. An online entry form must be submitted for each entry. Please email Entry Form Chair at show-entry-form@pvqa.org if you are unable to use the online form. Click here for the 2021 Virtual Quilt Show Entry Form:
2. PHOTO. A photo of the COMPLETED quilt/item MUST be provided with each entry. Two photos will be accepted for each item entered. The first photo should be of the entire, completely finished quilt/item taken from a “straight-on” direction. A second photo is optional and may be submitted of the back of the quilt/item or a detail you wish to highlight, such as the quilting or a portion of the design. Hands holding the quilt/item should not be visible. Please crop out distracting items in the background. Photos may be cropped/edited at the discretion of the web team. File size for photos must meet the website requirements. We are requiring a minimum file size of 600 x 315 pixels. If your image is smaller than 600 x 315 pixels, it will appear as a small image and will not be a satisfactory representation of your item. The maximum file size for the uploaded image file is 5 MB.
3. PHOTO SUBMISSION OPTIONS. You can submit your Virtual Quilt Show Entry without uploading a photo of your item. There are three options for submitting your quilt/item photo(s):
   1. Photo Upload: Upload your photo(s) in the ‘Photo Upload’ section on the entry form.
   2. Email your photo(s): When you get your Confirmation email, note the Entry ID at the top of the confirmation. Email your photo to quiltshowchair@pvqa.org along with the Entry ID, your name, the title of the quilt/item and the file name of your photo.
