Celebration XXI

Welcome to

Each year for the past 21 years, Rug Hooking Magazine has published this book, featuring the finest rugs, narrowed down this year from a field of lose to 200 entries by four respected judges, chosen for their expertise in the rug hooking community. Their task is daunting- to jury images submitted by the entrants and to evaluate the rugs based on color, execution, design and interpretation of design.

The results of the judging are presented on the pages of this year's Celebration edition. These rugs represent "the best of the best" from this year's applicants.

Order Celebration XXI here.

Join us as we continue our third decade of Celebration!  We invite yo to enter your best hooked piece completed in 2010 or 2011.  The deadline for entries is November 30, 2011.  We welcome all styles and sizes, from primtive to fine shading, from traditional to comtemporary.  Please see the the September/October 2010 issue of Rug Hooking Magazine for this year's rules and entry information or click here for all of the necessary information.
