Follow guidelines for entries-you enter in the wrong class-too bad-it won't be changed. Also be aware certain judges pay more attention to specific details. I can tell when a certain judge is being used at our fair. He/she always makes comments and seems to be focused on mitered corners. Other years you get a place and no comments at all. I enter stuff every year, it's fun and helps keep the department going. No entries=that department will be eliminated or reduced.
