Exhibit Categories

For judging purposes, ANG distinguishes between the nonprofessional and the professional as follows:

Non-Professional: Anyone who, at the time of entry submission and previously, engages in needlework as a pastime and for pleasure rather than for financial gain. Teaching, presenting programs/lectures for guilds or without compensation, or community service will not change the status of a non-professional.

Professional: Anyone who, at the time of entry submission and previously, engages in needlework as a teacher, judge, artist/designer, lecturer, author, or stitches for commissioned work and who receives earned remuneration.

1. ORIGINAL
2. ADAPTATION
3. INDEPENDENT PROJECT
4. PAINTED DESIGN without STITCH GUIDE
5. PAINTED DESIGN with STITCH GUIDE
6. CLASS PROJECT
