You can now register your entries for the Big E.  Registrations will be accept through 15 August.  Here are the relevant links:

For information on the Department and Division go to https://d38trduahtodj3.cloudfront.net/files.ashx?t=fg&rid=TheBigE&f=2_Lace.pdf.  Please note that if you have participated in the Big E before, the department number has changed, so please read this document. 

Information on the competition rules, how to mail an entry, and a link to the online entry form are on https://www.thebige.com/p/competitions/creative-arts.  This page will also let you access the paper entry form if you choose to manually enter, as well as the entry labels.  Please note that we will have people in both CT and MA who will be bringing in entries and retrieving them after the Big E is finished, so you may not need to mail your entry.

NELG will still be coordinating demonstrators.  While in past years it has been a little less formal (yes, a group of us have made the decision to demonstrate based on no one else showing up on the next day), this year's rules will require preregistration by every demonstrator.  You will be signing up on the NELG event calendar, but this needs to be done by 1 August.

I hope to see your entry in the display case.  Please note that registering your entry is not the same as having a complete entry.  The entries need to be completed before 3 September which is the day that they must be at the Big E.  Yes, I have a couple of my entries started, but one has not gone beyond the design stage.  I will get them done!
