I can send my quilt for International Quilt Festival/Chicago, but need it to be returned in May 2010.

I have submitted my entry(s) for possible inclusion in the exhibit O Canada 2010 at International Quilt Festival in Chicago, Illinois, April 16-18, 2010. I understand my quilt will be insured under your Chubb Group Fine Arts policy, at the value I have specified, from the time I ship it to you until it is returned to my door. I further agree to permit the image, or detail image(s), and/or all or part of my statement of my entry to be used in articles, ads, promotions, catalogs, books, websites (including any webcast coverage), CDs, current event news coverage, television productions, and/or multi-media productions for and about International Quilt Festival, or for and about the special exhibit O Canada 2010. My quilt does have a 4-inch (10 cm.) fabric sleeve for hanging. If my entry is selected for exhibit, I will be notified by February 12, 2010. I agree to ship my quilt at my expense to arrive no later than March 12, 2010. My quilt will be returned at the organizer's expense.

Important Special Note to quilters shipping from foreign countries: While we encourage you to insure your work for its full value for insurance purposes, we must ask you to value it for customs declaration purposes only at no more than $50 (U.S.). A higher customs value may require an expensive bond that may not be refunded upon your quilt's return to its home country. Also mark the customs document "for exhibition and return, not for sale, no commercial value." We hope you understand that this is for practical purposes only, and certainly does not reflect on Quilt Festival's estimation of your work. If you wish to claim full value for customs purposes, we recommend that you arrange a carnet A.T.A. for your quilt at your expense. If we incur customs expenses due to a decision on your part to declare the customs value of your quilt as more than $50, you will need to reimburse us for any such expense. If you claim less than $50 for customs purposes and we still incur customs charges, we will pay those charges in full and will not expect reimbursement.

Entries selected from digital images are subject to additional evaluation when the actual quilt arrives in Houston. If the actual quilt is found to differ significantly from the digital image submitted for jurying, the selection committee reserves the right to reject the entry and override the jurors’ initial decision. The decision as to whether the difference is significant is entirely the prerogative of the committee.
