Entering the Contest

Make It for Others

In the Make It for Others (district-level only) contest, all regular Make It With Wool rules apply regarding content of wool and garment categories. However, the entrant does not have to model the garment himself/herself.

Instead, the garment must be modeled for the district competition judging and fashion show by the person for whom it was made. Information on the entry form should pertain to the person who constructed the garment, not the model.

Sending Your Entry

If a triplicate entry form does not accompany your pamphlet, contact your state or district director to receive one. Please send entry form, fee, and five-square-inch fabric samples to the national director and send forms and samples to district and state directors no later than one week before the district contest you plan to attend.

Entry fees must accompany all entries sent to the national director:

$10.00 Preteens, Juniors, Seniors, all Adults, and Make It for Others

A person may make multiple entries, but a separate entry fee and form must be sent to the national director for each entry, including Make It for Others contest entries.
