Are you an student in love with needlework? Are you a textile artist in training?

It is great to share your work with people you know, but if you love what you do, maybe it’s time you got the recognition you deserve by becoming an award winning artist!

Welcome to the MrXStitch Student Needlework Prize, a juried competition that gives you the opportunity to submit your best work and win international acclaim (and money!).

The process is simple and is outlined below.

There are four categories for you to enter:

There are prizes for the top three winners in each category:

> £100 for first place.

> £50 for second place.

> A bundle of needlework materials for third place.

All three winners will be celebrated on the MrXStitch social channels and have the opportunity to be on the NeedleXChange podcast.
