NATIONAL WOOL MUSEUM Scarf Festival 2015 Scarf Festival: 5 June – 2 August 2015 Coastlines: A great and terrible beauty, where the land meets the sea. No single perimeter measures it or defines it. Forever changing, a fractal paradox, ill‐defined in length and where precise lines cannot be determined. Coastlines are the epicentre of environmental issues and landscapes unto themselves; like a scarf, each with its own inherent personality and its own story to tell. What direction will you take? All entrants will be in the running for the coveted 2015 Scarf of the Year award, as well as other category awards including Use of Colour, 100% Wool and Thematic. We are accepting entry forms and payment online ‐ (scarves still need to be delivered to us). To enter your scarf online visit our website. Alternatively you can print and download an entry form from our website.
http://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/events/item/8cfa6790ec73f1f.aspx Please visit our website for the guidelines and conditions of entry for this year’s festival. Good luck! We look forward to sharing your creation.
