Two lucky people came to PA IV for Free! That could be you in 2020!

The 2019 Winners

Our scholarship winner is L’ubica Noemi Kovacilova from Slovakia (on the left with Peri from the Woolery) and the big winner of the raffle was Marie Richardson from CA (on the right with her daughter, who also attended).

SCHOLARSHIP

Do you want to come to PLY Away but can’t see a way to make it happen? We’d love to help! For the fifth annual PLY Away, PLY is working with the Woolery to make dreams come true! We have one (maybe 2) scholarship spots and we’d like to give one to you!

If you’d like to be considered for the PLY Away scholarship spot please fill out following the application form, write a 1000+ word essay on why you think the art of spinning is important to keep alive and how you might spread the love of spinning in your community and beyond, get two letters of recommendation (these can be from other spinners, teachers, friends, as long as they can speak to your spinning passion), and send all to jacey@plymagazine.com or PLY Magazine PO Box 3329 Kansas City, KS. All entries must be in by Oct 1 and decisions will be made by PLY Magazine and The Woolery and will be announced on October 20, 2019.

RAFFLE

PLY Away has a scholarship fund and if you contribute to it via the button below, you will get a warm and wooly feeling in your fiber-loving heart as well as be entered in a random drawing to have your PLY Away experience totally covered by PLY (airfare to and from Kansas City International Airport, hotel for 6 nights, 5 days of classes, and the Friday night banquet/talk) or be able to register 2 days before registration officially opens.

That’s right! Out of all the spinners that find it in their hearts to donate $20 to the scholarship fund, one will be chosen at random to come to PLY Away for free and 20 others will get to relax and know their registration is 100% guaranteed. The lucky spinner who gets to go to PLY Away on us and those that get to register early will be chosen and announced on Oct 10, 2019. Raffle entries accepted until Oct 9th.

*no purchase necessary, if you prefer to not donate to the scholarship fund, you can still be entered to win both prizes. Send your name, address, phone number, emails address, photo of yourself (this can be a printout or a actual photo) and a 50-yard skein of your handspun to PLY Magazine PO Box 3329 Kansas City, KS by October 1, 2019.
