508 candidates from throughout the world have competed. They sent two different slides of their work, which a jury viewed last April. The jury was made up by four persons. They had the difficult task to make a selection out of all the pieces sent to Angers.
69 works have been kept back. The majority of the participants are European : French, German, Dutch, Polish, Italian etc… but they also come from the USA, Latin America, Australia, Japan…
It is the first time, that this exhibition can be shown in Switzerland. The Textilmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland is very proud that it got the special opportunity to show these works in its rooms.
