4 Competitive Exhibits Welcome to the UFDC s 64th Annual Convention. Every UFDC member registered for the convention is invited to participate in the Competitive Exhibits, both Antique and Modern. The Competitive Exhibits are among the most popular features at convention, offering an unequaled opportunity to see and study rare and interesting dolls. Bring your dolls to Washington and share them with others. Sharing is what it is all about! The fine line between antique and modern is constantly changing. Some of the earliest dolls in the modern exhibit might now be considered to be antique, and some of the antique dolls that continued to be made into the 1930 s may qualify as modern. There are several classes that are appropriate for either antique or modern, so please read the entire list of possible entries in case the one you are looking for is in the other exhibit. Every year the Exhibit Chairs vary the classes so they are diverse enough to appeal to the majority of doll collectors. To those who enter dolls, we thank you for entrusting your dolls to us and promise to treat them with the greatest care. Please read the rules of entry carefully. Sherry and Charles Minton Antique Exhibit Chairs Susan Steirn Modern Exhibit Chair 2

5 Rules of Entry Please read all the rules of entry carefully before you start to complete your forms. 1. The deadline for entries is June 20, There will be no extensions. Entries should be postmarked on or before the deadline date. Please enter as early as possible to help your Exhibit Chairs in the documentation or insurance process. Please make sure that the forms are sent to the appropriate chairs: antique entries to the Antique Exhibit Chairs and modern entries to the Modern Exhibit Chair. 2. Please read the entire category and class descriptions carefully. The material from which the doll s head is made determines the category. Placement in the correct category and classification is the responsibility of the exhibitor. You may contact the Exhibit Chairs for advice, but no dolls will be moved after they have been placed in a category/class by the owner. Correct placement is an integral part of the competition. 3. An unlimited number of dolls may be entered by each exhibitor in each exhibit room. 4. Only one (1) doll may be entered in each numbered class, except where otherwise stated, such as pairs or a set. Pairs or a set are considered one (1) entry. 5. The exhibitor must be a member of UFDC, registered and attending the convention. Entries cannot be accepted without club affiliation or member-at-large status shown. 3

6 6. The size of every item entered (including box where permitted) must be listed on the entry form so proper space can be provided in the exhibit. 7. All dolls must be on suitable stands unless otherwise stated in the classification. 8. Any previous Blue Ribbon doll may be entered in any regular class in which it qualifies. Ribbons must be removed from the doll before it is entered. Exception: Ribbons must be left on any doll entered in a Previous National Blue Ribbon classification. 9. A card, approximately 3x5 inches, typed or boldly printed in black ink, should accompany each entry in the exhibit. The card should list marks, unusual features, repairs, damage or restoration, etc. These cards should NOT include your name. 10.

Please bring a copy of your entry form with the dolls. Clerks will assist in placing the dolls. 11. At least two exhibitors must enter a classification for that class to be judged. If only one doll is entered in a class, the doll will receive a ribbon of appreciation. 12. The decisions of the judges are final. Dolls alone will be judged unless otherwise specified.

Exceptions would be an original box or accessory which was obviously a part of the doll when made, or where accessories are specifically mentioned as acceptable in the category or class. 4

7 13. No boxes newer than 1960 will be accepted unless the class calls for a box; however, if a doll has never been removed from its original sealed packaging, and to remove it would decrease the value of the doll, it may be entered in the original packaging and/or box. Judges are instructed to give no special consideration to the fact that it is entered in its box. 14. Dolls must be removed from the exhibit room on the day and time published in the Convention Schedule. Each exhibitor must remove his/her own dolls. Clerks will assist you. Please be prompt. 15. All dolls entered in the Competitive Exhibits may be photographed at a designated time by UFDC photographers who have signed the UFDC Photographers Pledge.

No picture taken by a member or guest may be published or used commercially without the written consent of the doll s owner. 16. Selected dolls may be moved by the Exhibit Chairs to avoid overcrowding or to facilitate photography. 5

As an acknowledgement of your entry, you will receive hang tags for your dolls by mail. Please check them against your own records and then attach them to your dolls. The hang tags will show your exhibitor number, which is assigned by the Exhibit Chairs. Be sure to write your club s name or your member-at-large status on each hang tag. All dolls will be covered with full insurance and be under 24-hour security from the time they are checked-in until they are signed-out of the exhibit room. Please be realistic in stating the insurance value for each doll. Never leave your dolls unattended in the check-in line or in the packing area.

Clerks will be available to assist, but you are responsible for your dolls until they are checked-in and once they are checked-out.
