Fiber materials may include cotton, wood, wool, paper, metal, synthetic materials, and beyond. All works must consist primarily of fiber and be of original design; kits and commercial patterns are not permitted.
The method of display must be clear and achievable by LibertyTown staff. Any specialty hardware, hangers, or display forms must be provided by the artist. Artists are required to list all fiber media used in each piece.
