21st Century Sampler Competition
The Royal School of Needlework

Competition Brief -
To coincide with our “Samplers” exhibition in the Royal School of Needlework’s Studio we are running a Samplers Design Competition which is open to everyone!

Your challenge is to design a 21st Century Sampler. There are no limits as to what elements the sampler may or may not contain. Maximum size for the design is 45cm square, but it can be smaller than this and any shape.

The winner will get the opportunity to make up their sampler design for the RSN (with some help if required) so that it becomes part of the RSN’s Collection for years to come.


Terms & Conditions (truncated)

1. Entrants can enter the competition as many times as they wish.
2. Entrants must specify their age if under 18.
3. All entries must be confirmed as your own original work.
4. Entries must be designs only, not stitched pieces, and submitted digitally or by post on paper.
5. If the sampler includes non-English script entrants must submit the English translation.
6. Each design must be in two versions: one just of the design in colour and one indicating the techniques to be used. This can be achieved with an annotated copy of the design.

8. The Judging Panel’s decision is final and no correspondence or feedback will be entered in to following the announcement of the winner.
