All Manitoba Craft Council members are welcome to submit recent works in craft, and all submissions will be accepted. Submissions do not need to fit the classic definition of a miniature (ie. a tiny replica of something much larger), rather they must fit into the maximum size requirement of 15cm x 15cm x 15cm or 6 x 6 x 6 in.
