1.I don't want to do an essay question
2.Quilts have 3 layers. Fiber art could apply to weaving, knitting, crochet.......etc.
3.Really depends on the venue and the population density of quilters solicited.
4.Depends on how large the show is. How much money there is available to hire judges.
5 It is great when all influences are listed for a given quilt but not always practical.
