2026 Member Challenge – “It’s a Small World”
Our member challenge will be held at our Summer Potluck on July 21 and the theme is “It’s a Small World”.
Use your favorite technique to create something around this theme, keeping the size of your 2D entry to 12 inches X 12 inches, or your 3D entry to 12 Inches square. All hanging pieces should have a sleeve and rod or some other means of attaching to the display board hooks. If your piece sits on a table and requires an easel or some type of stand you must provide these.
All work submitted should be the submitter’s original design (no kits, commercial charts, etc.) and should have been created within the past two years. Work that has been previously exhibited at Guild functions is discouraged. Entries must have a fiber element.
Your project will be displayed at our annual Summer Potluck, July 21st, 2026 and members in attendance will vote for their favorite entry. You must be a member to enter and vote.
Winners will receive a certificate to be used in the next year’s NSNG workshop of their choice – $100 First Place, $75 Second Place, and $50 Third Place.
All Challenge entries must be at the potluck no later than 10:00 am to allow for setup and to be included in voting. Voting will open at 10:30 am and close at noon when all votes will be counted and Challenge winners determined.
Deadline to enter is June 30th, 2026. Please email Lu Betcher if you would like to enter the challenge. Include your name, the name and size of the entry, and how you would like it displayed (hung, placed on a table, or free-standing).
Once you have completed your piece, please send Lu a short artist statement, with the title of your entry, describing your work. Artist statements are due no later than July 11th, 2026, to allow time for printing.
