Applicants must be current members of SAQA with New Mexico as one of the regions on their membership.

In addition, only original artwork, conceived and created by the entrant(s) will be considered; no patterns, kits, copies, or works that are the result of a class.

SELECTION

Selection of the work to be shown will be made by Cynthia Sanchez, PhD., Director and Curator of the Capitol Collection, based on the digital images submitted.

Director Sanchez reserves the right to refuse work that differs from images submitted, is not in good repair or is not appropriate for the exhibition.

IMAGE REQUIREMENTS-

Please submit one full and one detail digital image of each submitted work by email to Betty Busby at fbusby3@comcast.net.

Save your images as JPEGs, 2100 pixels on the longest side.  Be sure to label your images with your last name, and the title; for example, gould-moonrise-full.

Images must be in sharp focus. The quilt should be photographed on a plain white background with no hanging devices, pins, tacks or other extraneous items visible and the quilt should be as straight as possible. Poor quality images will affect the jurors' decisions. If an entrant disregards the requirements, their quilt(s) may be disqualified. The committee reserves the right to refuse works that differ significantly from images submitted, are not in good condition, or are not appropriate for the exhibition/venue, or have not been delivered to the gallery by the time stated.
