OAAS Two Champion Quilt Competitions for Hand Quilted Quiltes and Machine Quilted

The exhibitor of the Grand Champion Quilt at the Thorndale Fair is eligible to enter their quilt in the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (O.A.A.S.) competition. To enter this competition, the Grand Champion Quilt must compete in the District 13 Quilt Competition in November. The first prize quilt from the District Competition is then entered in the O.A.A.S. Competition which is held at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Annual Convention in Toronto in February. The entry judged BEST OF SHOW at the February Convention will be declared the ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES' CHAMPIONSHIP QUILT. A $500.00 GRAND PRIZE will be awarded and the Exhibitor will retain ownership of the quilt. A certificate and ribbon will also be awarded to the winner.

There will be a 2nd place prize of $150.00 awarded to the Runner-up Quilt. Exhibitor will retain ownership of quilt.

The exhibitor agrees to participate in any promotional activities related to the OAAS competition. The winning OAAS quilt will not be eligible to compete in any future District or OAAS competitions.

The hand quilt must be at least Double Bed Size (72" x 90"), or the quilt will not be eligible to proceed to the next level of competitions. The quilt must be solely made and hand quilted by an individual. Machine Quilted quilt/wall hanging is measured on the perimeter. Total perimeter measurement to be a minimum of 192" (480 cm) - square or rectangular. Quilt/wall hanging must be solely made and hand quilted by an individual (not on a long arm machine and must have visible machine quilting).

If an exhibitor wins the Grand Champion Quilt with the same quilt at more than one fair, the exhibitor must consider the Agricultural Society nearest his/her home Fair as the one from which the quilt will be sent to the District Competition. An exhibitor who wins more than one BEST OF SHOW title with a different quilt at different fairs shall be entitled to enter each winning quilt to compete at the District Competition.

The local Homecraft Division is requested to judge a GRAND CHAMPION or Best of Show of All Classes as well as a RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION or Second Best of Show of All Classes. The GRAND CHAMPION and the RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION are judged from all first and second prize quilts that are handquilted.
