Frequently Asked Questions
How many entries may I submit each time?
A member may submit 3 entries on one form during each submission period.
Why does the jury need to have 2 or 3 views of certain entries?
In order to show the intrinsic workmanship of each work, different views allow the jury members a more complete look at the piece.
Do I need to show the back of my needlepoint or quilt?
Yes, this shows off your talent for creating the subject.
I don’t see a subcategory or rubric for the artwork I would like to submit. Does that mean I cannot submit it? What should I do?
Contact a jury member and share what you would like to submit. The jury will be adding more subcategories as the needs arise.
Can you guarantee that my work will only be shown on the DKG website?
As with many things on the web, another site can link to the DKG site: dkg.org
I cannot figure out how to upload my submissions. What should I do?
You can always contact a jury member or Sarah D (
sarahd@dkg.org
) at Society Headquarters for assistance.
I have purchased a needlepoint kit and have added to the design. May I submit this work?
Aside from the possible infringement of the original copyright, we accept only totally original work.
My artwork is already framed and I cannot remove the frame without ruining the frame or the work. Am I allowed to submit it?
If you can successfully photograph the work while still meeting the submission procedure criteria, you may submit your entry.
If my work is not accepted the first time, may I resubmit it?
Yes, you may. Please read carefully the Submission Procedure. In all areas of arts including crafts, make certain that the photographs of your work show clearly all the nuances of your work? In a mediated art gallery, the photographs are of utmost importance.
Are kits and patterns allowed for needlepoint and embroidery artwork?
No. All works must be completely original. Using kits and patterns infringe on copyrights.
I am not a good photographer? What should I do? Whom may I ask for help?
Please contact Sarah D at Society Headquarters at
sarahd@dkg.org
for assistance.
Can my quilt be machine quilted or does it have to be quilted by hand?
The quilting may be done by either method.
May I use a pattern for my quilt or does it have to be an original design?
The quilt must be an original design.
When filling out the application, is too much information a bad thing?
When in doubt, provide the information you are considering. Additional information may aid the jury in understanding the submitted work. Too much information is never a bad thing.
Is it okay to submit a series?
When considering two or three pieces that are closely related and produced in a series, there are options for submission. One option is to submit each as a separate work. A second option is to submit them as a group. Option two would require that each photograph show the group of pieces. The group photo(s) should meet the photography requirements of the Category/ Sub-category being submitted. (See “Description of category, guidelines for content and preparation” on the “Submission Procedures” document. Some categories require more than one photo angle per submission).
