‘Easy Entry’ Instructions
Our Campus Snaps Challenge entry process is quick and easy! Follow these simple instructions; complete the
form below and in a snap you are registered and ready to start working on your fabulous entry!
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Dutchess Community College and the 18th Scholarship Quilt Show,
spanning 36 years of collaboration between the show committee and the college, the challenge theme is
“Campus Snaps”. To get those creative juices flowing Jason Miller, Office of Communications and Public
Relations at Dutchess Community College has provided a plethora of campus photographs, available on our
webpage at www.dhquiltshow.org . You can use any of these images or visit the campus and snap your own
scenic view, landscape, sculpture or facade – anything you see on campus. The photo can be a current image or
one from archives. You can use the entire photo or a portion of one.
