Attendees at a past Great Wisconsin Quilt Show.
media release: There is still time to enter the 10-category juried and judged 2024 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show Quilt Contest. Quilters are invited to enter up to four quilts in the contest, which awards cash prizes for best of show, first-, second- and third-place honors in each of the 10 categories, and a viewers' choice award, selected from the entries by Quilt Show attendees. Quilt Contest entries must be submitted by June 30.
Visit quiltshow.com for complete contest details and entry deadlines.
Entries are also being accepted for the Kids’ Quilt Challenge and a themed quilt challenge. This year’s themed challenge — “Black & White + One” — asks if limitations foster creativity. All quilts must be made from fabrics in black, white, plus one additional color.
Now in its 20th year, the annual Great Wisconsin Quilt Show welcomes quilters from across Wisconsin and throughout the United States to the Alliant Energy Center in Madison Sept. 5-7 to celebrate quilting.
The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show also includes dozens of educational lectures and workshops led by expert quilters; shopping opportunities from trusted vendors, featuring the latest fabrics and notions; and a community service project — Quilt to Give — in which attendees donate their materials and skills to create quilts for those in need.
The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show is presented by PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions. Proceeds from The Great Wisconsin Quilt Show support PBS Wisconsin programs and community outreach projects.
