You should read every single line of that contract. Here we mostly have county fairs and I've sent some to Georgia to my daughter to take to the county fair there. Be prepared for judges to be very nit picky about the quilts. They will go over every inch of your quilt. But do not let that stop you.I havn't won one yet,but out of those shows I have gotten a lot of quilt orders from people who saw my work and liked it.
