Hi Bronnie, it is only the 'voter' prize drawings that are only US
eligible. Everyone else is still eligible to vote worldwide internet
but only ONE email address per vote - all other user addresses will be
voided by AQS.

Non-US entrants are eligible for all prizes as voted by web site users.

When the voting opens tomorrow, there will probably be a information
form to complete (AQS will want to know who's out there that isn't
already signed up as a member - membership requests will come plus
other advertising.

You CAN vote for Bronnie's quilt but You can't win a 'voters' prize in
the drawing.

In the past I have found AQS things absolutely
aimed/restricted to US entrants/competitiors which is fine.
It is, afterall, the American QS. But if that is the case I
wish they would not go out of their way to solicit "foreign"
members/entries/competitors/input. When I asked about this
the answer I got left me with the definite impression that
"foreigners" are second class members in AQS. Their
magazine is interesting but not worth the membership cost so
I will not be renewing mine when it expires this time.

Nothing against the AQS itself, just wish they would be a
little more up front about who their target audience really
is.



I cannot even vote for your quilt Bronnie (and I would
have!) but I would not have thought that any competition
that is determined by vote was classified as a "game of
chance".

As a Canadian - there are many other contests and promotions that are
not cross'border friendly but there are just as many others that are US
or Canada eligible. In Canada, contest winners are required to answer
a 'skill-testing question' in order to claim their winnings. In Canada,
Quebec is always "prohibited by law" in joining in other contests by
provincial law just as in the States, some States prohibit by law
contests from other States.

Thanks so much for clariying the situation Jenell. I'm probably not the
only who was confused.
Not that I am expecting to win anything!

Appreciated your response,
Bronnie

Bronnie, from what I read the contest and the prizes for the contest are
open to all. Voting is open to all who access the website. But if you
are not in the US etc you may not win one of the prizes given by random
drawing to the *voters*.
Your quilt is eligible for any of the actual contest prizes. and we can
all vote for your quilt too. G

Good luck, I just didn't get one in this year.

Your quilt is quite lovely, Bronnie, so
good luck!! Maybe you will win ... if
you do you will most likely get some
nice prizes. The games of chance rules
apply only to those who are entering
VOTES, not the quilter competition. You
just need to go to
http://www.americanquilter.com/contest/

Click on VOTER rules and/or WEEKLY
DRAWING rules (now finished) and you
will see the restrictions involve VOTERS.

I hope this link clears up confusion and
reaches those who might otherwise have a
sour attitude to AQS, due to wrong info.

Good luck! PAT
