Non-Juried Fashion Show
Entry form
Personal Reflections
The 1999 Midwest Weavers Conference Non-juried Fashion Show will be held prior to the Sunday evening address by Sheila O'Hara. All members are invited to enter a handwoven garment and/or accessory and model it themselves-or have a friend model it. In keeping with the theme, your entry should reflect your own personal, creative style and response to the fiber arts.
Guidelines
- Preregistration is due June 1, 1999.
- No slides are required; just an opportunity to show your creations to an appreciative audience in a non-competitive atmosphere.
- An orientation time for participants is scheduled before the actual show.
To enter:
- complete the appropriate entry form found in this booklet and
- mail it by June 1, 1999, to: Gretchen Jennerman; 107 Berkeley Drive; Terre Haute, IN 47803.
- All forms may be duplicated. Please retain a copy (s) for your records.
- Please enclose a photo or sketch of the garment, along with a fiber and/or fabric swatch.
Audience members will select their favorite garments from the show entries for three People's Choice Awards which will be presented after the Sunday evening speech. Because of time constraints, the number of entries will be limited to 45 - so enter soon.
This will be an exciting, inspiring show!
