Judging is Different This Year

 

This is a friendly reminder about the judging process for this year’s Annual Conference in Cobourg. It’s a wee tad different from other years so you’ll want to understand the key details.

The exciting part of this year’s process is that judged items will be professionally displayed at the Art Gallery of Northumberland in Cobourg’s Victoria Hall, one floor up from where the Annual Conference will be held.  The display will be open to the public from April 29 to May 10, raising the profile of rug hooking and rug hookers! Normally judged items are displayed only on the Annual Weekend, but the gallery has dedicated 2 whole weeks to the OHCG this year.  You’ll need to get your items to us by April 23 at 4 pm along with the Judging Registration Form, which you can find in your Winter Newsletter or on the OHCG website (under Events). You can submit the form and items for judging anytime now. Don’t wait until the last minute! Remember, it’s critical that you don’t share photos of your items for judging on social media. This ensures that the judges haven’t seen your work before. Items that are found to have broken this condition will be disqualified.  If you can’t make it to the Annual Conference, you might want to visit the AGN when the display is up, from April 29 to May 9. It’s a great opportunity to explore the town of Cobourg. We’ll send you more information about local attractions in a future email.  For more details on the submission process, you can check out THIS LINK. Hope this helps! We’ll look forward to seeing you in Cobourg, and maybe with some items for judging?
