Our local county fair says that all entries must be cleaned and pressed, made within the last year (since the start of the last fair), have a 4" sleeve for display purposes, and name the (longarm) quilter if someone else quilted the top. The pattern name and quilt name need to be provided as well as the name of person entering who made the top. There is a separate category for hand quilting, machine quilting, hand pieced, professionally quilted, and applique. There are separate divisions according to size and age of the exhibitor or group.
