\nDecember 1, 2015 \u2013 Notification will be sent via email as to whether or not your quilt is accepted.

Quilts originating from North America will use a diplomatic pouch address \u2013 DPO (formerly known as APO) with US postal rates. A shipping address to Rome, Italy and a delivery by hand address will be provided.
\nJanuary 15, 2016 \u2013 On or before January 15, 2016, quilts must be received in Rome, Italy, where the quilts will be photographed by the curator and prepared for installation.
\nEntrant is responsible for the initial shipping to Rome, Italy (or hand delivery) plus insurance costs, if desired, during the exhibit. Security is provided, however, quilts entered are at entrant\u2019s own risk.<\/p>\n
The exhibition will run at UN headquarters, Palais des Nations, in Geneva, Switzerland in March 2016, and will then travel in Europe and North America for upwards of two years thereafter.<\/p>\n
Entering a quilt for an invitational exhibit is a big step and we, as organizers, do not take your efforts or our responsibilities lightly. We will strive to keep quilts safe and secure. Although the greatest care and respect will be taken with all entries, the quilts are exhibited entirely at the risk of the owner. Please arrange for your own quilt\u2019s insurance throughout the exhibit period. Due to the nature of the U.S. Government and United Nations facilities, this exhibit could be relocated or cancelled at any time with little or no notice.<\/p>\n
The organizers reserve the right to photograph any work for publicity purposes, acknowledging the artist, without compensation. Photographs of quilts, exhibitions and quotes from artist\u2019s statement may be used in informational materials for the exhibit.<\/p>\n
