Entries being accepted for Sheep and Fiber Fest contests
The Waynesburg Sheep and Fiber Festival contests are now accepting entries.
The photo contest is accepting entries now through April 21. There are five categories for the entries, Still Life, Scenery, People, Animals, and Youth. Money and ribbons will be awarded in each category as well as Best of Show and People’s choice.
You can find the entry form and contest rules at the photo counter at Walgreens, at the Chamber of Commerce in Waynesburg or online at http://www.waynesburgpa.org/sheepandfiber/2015photo.pdf.
The Fiber Arts Contest is accepting entries through Monday, May 11. There are both youth and adult categories for various items that are knit, crocheted, or created using other techniques such as felting. Ribbons and monetary prizes will be awarded in all categories.
There are also Best of Show, Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice prizes awarded with cash prizes.
New this year is a separate category for work made with an original pattern. Any entries so designated will be judged for originality and appropriateness of design in addition to any other category the item may be entered in; this is an excellent way to show off/get credit for the hard work and creativity that drives many fiber artists, or for those who just can’t let a pattern go unchallenged.
