2011 I.O.L.I Lace Contest

 

Announcing the 2011 lace contest theme:

 

"Threads of History"

 

 "Threads of History" should be interpreted as the people,  places,  and  events that made up the history of the United States.

 

 All entrants must be members of the I.O.L.I. The entry can be 2-D or 3-D. See complete rules for maximum sizes allowed.

 

No entry may be covered in any manner i.e. no glass or any type of plastic. The reasons for this: safety of the judges, ability to view the lace properly, photography, and to minimize possible damage to the lace. Use color and thread appropriate to your design.

 

Categories of submission:

Original Lace Design:  The entry must be designed and worked by the entrant. A copy of the original pattern and working directions must be submitted with the entry.

 

Technical Proficiency: The entry must be worked completely by the entrant, but another lace designerŐs pattern may be used. Information acknowledging the designer and source of the pattern must be provided with the entry.

 

All entrants must be members of I.O.L.I.

 

First right of publication is granted to the I.O.L.I. Bulletin. Designer of original work will hold the copyright. Only the Bulletin Editor or I.O.L.I. designated photographer will be permitted to photograph the lace pieces.
