My digital signature confirms that:

1. I am an active member of Quilts on the Wall and my annual dues are current.

2. I have paid the non-refundable Challenge entry fee for each entry.

3. I understand I may enter up to 2 art pieces into each Challenge.

4. I understand the Exhibit Committee Chair may modify my Artist Statement and/or Materials/Techniques Statement to comply with exhibit venue requirements. 

5. I understand there is no guarantee that my entry will be accepted into a juried exhibition.

6. I understand that my entry into a non-juried challenge will be accepted for exhibition upon approval by the Quilts on the Wall Exhibit Committee.  Approval ensures Artist Entry meets Challenge requirements of size, orientation, theme, and has been completed with good construction.

7. I understand  I have an obligation to deliver my entry to the Exhibit Committee no later than the published entry date at the regular meeting of its members.

8. I understand  there may be an additional exhibit fee in an amount determined by the Board, per art piece, that is accepted into a traveling show to cover costs of shipping the entry to various exhibit venues.

9. I understand it is my responsibility to have my art work appraised and insured, and that Quilts on the Wall does not provide insurance for damage or loss or appraisals.

10. I understand each venue provides insurance for my quilt but the venue insurance may not compensate me for the value of my entry.

11. Release of Liability. I do hereby fully release, and hold harmless, Quilts on the Wall, their officers, members, representatives and agents from any and all responsibility, liability, claims and causes of action, injuries, and other damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, personal injuries, and/or damage or loss of my personal property, including my artwork, as a result of my participation in, or my property’s inclusion in, any group activity or exhibition (including transportation to or from any activity or exhibition).  This release will remain in effect for the duration of my membership.  It will renew annually upon payment of dues, until such time as I do not renew.

12. I further understand that any quilt of mine that is accepted in a juried or non-juried exhibit is expected to travel for a period of at least one (1) year and up to three (3) years, and will not be returned to me during that period.  I may not withdraw my quilt from the traveling exhibit.

13. I understand Quilts on the Wall has developed favorable long-term relationships with many venues resulting from years of providing outstanding art work and that removing my art work from the exhibit may have an adverse impact on the reputation of Quilts on the Wall.

14. If I sell my art piece during the traveling period, I will advise the buyer that delivery of the art piece will be made upon conclusion of the traveling schedule.

15. Professional photographs of all accepted entries into challenges are included in the entry fees. Copies of the professional photos will be provided to the artist submitting the quilt at the appropriate time.

16. I understand the photos taken of my artwork are shared with various art quilt magazine editors and quilt show management companies for purposes of advertisement and potential inclusion in future publications.

17. I understand there is the possibility that I will be asked for permission to include my art work in articles about art quilts or artists or that I may be asked to be a “featured artist.”

18. I understand my written permission is needed for the release of photographs of my art work taken by the photographer hired by Quilts on the Wall to any organization that the Exhibit Committee Chair shall deem appropriate.

19. If I choose to sell my art work, I will include the “sale price” on the Artist Entry Form as well as an “insurance value”. If I do not enter a “sale price” on my Artist Entry Form, I understand my art piece will be listed as ‘NOT FOR SALE” by the Exhibit Committee Chair.
