2001 is the first year of the third millennium. The Competing Needles competition reflects this rare event, celebrating a millennium of stitchery and the dawn of the next 1000 years. Send us your stitched ideas for commemorating the millennium. The entry may be any format and any size. Judging is based on color, design, workmanship, quality and suitability of materials, finishing and presentation, and interpretation of theme.
All entrants receive a participant's certificate and Competing Needles pin.
First place winners in each category have their names engraved on a plaque at EGA National Headquarters. After judging, entries hang at EGA headquarters for 30 days, after which they are returned. EGA will not be responsible for entries shipped without an insurance value.
