The EPM International Contest is an outstanding showcase for quilters from around the world.

It kicks off the new edition of the contest, open to patchwork lovers from all over the globe. All the participants spend the next several months imagining and crafting their entries before registration begins in the spring.
Then, three judges examine all the entries based on photos and select the 30 quilts that best represent this year’s theme and whose execution shows the finest quality. For the 2024 contest, the jury is composed of Carolina Oneto, Maryse Allard and Debra Milkovich.
