Excellence in Fibers is an innovative juried exhibition. Selected works will appear in the First Annual Excellence in Fibers catalog which will be presented to curators and directors of 50+ museums and galleries that feature fiber work and a select group of fiber and fine craft collectors. It also will be integrated into the special expanded issue of Fiber Art Now, a subscriber-supported publication that also is sold on over 400 Barnes & Noble newsstands in the US, 200+ Chapters Books in Canada, and select newsstands in the UK.  See detailed information on their site, but here is a highlight of the information about the exhibition.
