Road to California 2017 is offering two opportunities<\/strong> for quilters to enter their quilt designs \u2013 one that we are known for and a new one for quilts to be part of a special exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\nFirst, there is Road\u2019s annual Quilt Contest<\/a>. For 2017, quilters have the chance to vie for prize money totaling $90,000<\/strong>. Once again, Gammill <\/a>is sponsoring the Best of Show category, offering $10,000 for the top prize.\n[caption id=\"attachment_4055\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"404\"]\"Best<\/a> Best of Show Road 2016 – Silk Road Sampler by MelissaSobotka[\/caption]\nRoad receives hundreds of entries each year in their annual contest for the fifteen categories.\u00a0 In order to qualify to enter, quilts have to have been made since January 1, 2015 and could not have been entered in a Road contest previously.
