**Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) Champion Quilt Competitions

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 $100.00 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.
