Deadline for All Entries: September 1, 2025
The contest deadline is fast approaching, so start preparing your entries now! For the Quilt Block Contest, entries should be mailed to Tom Gwin directly at PO Box 1186, Olympia, WA 98507, while the other contests (Virtual Photo, Garden Design, Creative Writing, and Design a Garden) should be submitted electronically to lecturer@nationalgrange.org.

Award Prizes and Recognition The National Grange Lecturer continues his tradition of offering cash prizes and ribbons for each class’s top three place winners. The winners will receive their awards directly after the judging process is complete.
While there will not be a display of entries at the national session this year, we are exploring creative ways to share the entries and contest results. Options may include a slide show or PowerPoint presentation to be made available to our members.
