I sponsor a local quilt show every year. If you enter a quilt (free entry) it is hung up. No rules other then the deadline to enter. Viewer's Choice Ribbons and no quilts are judged. No money but a gift baskets for the winners donated by the show vendors. The only label for each quilt is a number to vote for it. No names or info unless it's on the quilter's label on the back or if the quiltmaker want to attach any personal info. There are usually around 100 quilts entered. Simple and no hassles and we draw a bigger crowd every year. I've been to countless state and local fairs and have seen many quilts made from popular purchased patterns. Never any permissions required to enter the quilts at any of them.
