11th August 2010: Amazing but true: our 2010 State Conference is now only
23 days away. And the excitement is
really starting to build. So if you want to be part of this year's Cultural Competitions, you now only have
two days left to put in your entry forms.
The Cultural Competitions are a
much-loved feature of every QRWN State Conference and they're open to all delegates. They have
five separate sections (Wearable Art, Photography, Short Stories, Art, and Crafts) and they provide an opportunity to showcase the talent of rural women from all around the state.
All entries will be on display at the Conference and the winners will be announced there too.
Wearable Art has become a signature QRWN event and has attracted both national and international attention in the past. This year, entries are outfits that fit into
either the wearable farm art or wearable recycled art sections. Part of the fun of this section is that the outfits are actually worn by models in a
grand parade at the Conference!
The winners of each of the other sections are announced throughout the conference and there are
fabulous prizes to be won - such as a $500 voucher to "Take Better Photos Workshops" for the photography section. And the
best works in each category will be featured on our
main website after the Conference is over too.
However, 2010 entries
definitely close this coming
Friday 13th August 2010. So if you haven't submitted your entries yet, grab the paperwork from our
Confernce Forms page, print them off, fill them in and fax them back to us on
1300 795-516.
