The National Name Tag Competition has been Extended!
ANG is holding a competition to create a nametag that can be used by all members, both in this country and abroad. The idea is to create a stitch chart for the official ANG nametag, so that members-at-large and all members of ANG can have a stitched nametag to wear, especially at Seminar. The chart of the winning design will be sold and all proceeds will go to support the educational purposes of ANG. The designer is not responsible for creating the chart, just the design for the nametag.
All of ANG is looking forward to seeing your design for our National Nametag. The guidelines and a release are included here.
We hope to see your designs in Philadelphia!
