All exhibits competing for prizes must be the production of the exhibitor. Recent work only will be accepted. Work exhibited at the Paris Fair in any other previous year is not accepted. Framed pieces must have proper hanging hardware and clean glass. Every reasonable care will be exercised, but your Committee cannot be held responsible for damage to exhibits. Also, the Fair cannot be held responsible for any loss which may inadvertently occur, and any such risk must be borne by the exhibitor. The Committee reserves the right to disqualify and refrain from hanging any piece of artwork which, in their opinion appears to be based on pornography. Paint by numbers are not acceptable.

See General Rules for full details DESCRIPTIONS: Original: is work that must be the exhibitors own idea, or own composition designed from real life, still life or any imaginative concept from his or her own experiences. Representational: A Representational piece of art is characterized by images and/or objects which are shown in a realistic form. Abstraction: Abstract art moves away from realistic forms and presents real images with elements of distortion. The artists attempt to apply personal goals (re: design, colour, theme, etc.) to his/her work. Non-Objective: When all sense of reality has been removed by means of abstraction, the artistic composition is described as non-objective. Lines, forms, colours, etc., are set together to create a totally new conception. Note: All art finds its place somewhere between two extremes-realism and complete non-objectivity. As the artist moves out of a realistic mode he/she is moving into partial abstraction or full non-objective composition. Mixed Media: This term is most often found in the context of “works on paper” which maybe mixtures of watercolours with gouache, pastel, pencils, wax crayons, and so on, but other media can also be used in combination with oil paints. Photo Realism: A detailed visual representation of a photograph using a non-photographic medium.

HAND QUILTED AND MACHINE QUILTED COMPETITIONS Each year the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) showcase the Quilting

section of each fair by sponsoring two Provincial Grand Champion Competitions in which you, the exhibitor, are eligible to participate.

At the Paris Fair, we are requested to judge a Grand Champion and a Reserve Grand Champion from all first and second prize eligible entries for both the Hand and Machine Quilted Article Competitions.

Grand Champions proceed to the Fall District competition and if successful, to the Provincial Championship selection at the OAAS Convention in February 2018, where Grand prizes will be awarded.

If your quilt wins Grand Champion at more than one Fair, the exhibitor must send the quilt to District Competition on behalf of the Fair nearest his/her home address. The other Fair(s) must then send their Reserve Champion Quilt to the District Competition.

An exhibitor who wins more than one Best of Show title with a different quilt at different Fairs shall be entitled to enter each winning quilt to compete at the District Competition.

If an exhibitor does not wish his/her entries to compete in the OAAS competition, please indicate on back of entry tag.

“The Song My Paddle Sings” West wind, blow from your prairie nest, Blow from the mountains, blow from the west. The sail is idle, the sailor too; O! wind of the west, we wait for you. Blow, blow ! I have wooed you so, But never a favour you bestow. You rock your cradle the hills between But scorn to notice my white lateen.

I stow the sail, unship the mast: I wooed you long but my wooing’s past; My paddle will lull you into rest, Sleep, sleep, By your mountain steep Or down where the prairie grasses sweep ! Now fold in slumber your laggard wings For soft is the sound my paddle sings.

Be strong, O paddle ! Be brave, canoe ! The reckless waves you must plunge into. Reel, reel, On your trembling keel, But never a fear my craft will feel.

And up on the hills against the sky A fir tree rocking its lullaby Swings, swings Its emerald wings, Swelling the song that my paddle sings. E. Pauline Johnson 14. Design a logo using the words “Celebrate Canada 150th “
