The jury panel included internationally recognized artists Tim Harding (Stillwater, Minnesota) and Paula Nadelstern (New York, New York), and Robin Treen (San Jose, California), former Exhibits Director, San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. These very talented individuals brought with them a wealth of knowledge about traditional and contemporary textiles and decades of collective experience with the artistic and technical aspects of this most exciting art form.
Work was juried on originality, design, technique, and craftsmanship. Jurors selected no more than one work by an artist. Jurors granted preliminary acceptance on the basis of the slides. Final acceptance was granted after a jurors' representative had the opportunity to examine the work itself.
