The board of directors has agreed to put up $1,390 in cash awards for our 2016 Ameraucana National Meet, plus $200 in ribbons & rosettes in junior competition. This is on top of any awards offered by our members, bringing the total to over $1,900 as of today!
The hosting show club will give us $200 again for entering 100 or more birds. That will be designated toward rosettes and ribbons in Jr competition. Every kid entering an Ameraucana will be offered a yellow exhibitor ribbon or higher award(s) for certain wins.
There is already $320 in cash awards this year from members (Royce Van Blaricome, Russ Blair, Robert Rennolet & Mike Gilbert), some of which was unclaimed last year due to varieties not shown. Please feel free to contact me with any more donations, whether designated for specific wins or to be used as per consensus of the club board. It would be nice to have $20 for Jr BB LF, since we already have $20 for Jr BB bantam and $10 for RB wins.
• Only Ameraucana Alliance Members, with paid memberships before judging begins, are eligible for these Open Show awards from our club & it’s members.
• Some members prefer cash and some prefer trophies of some sort. Open show winners have the choice of either cash or non-cash for club sponsored awards. Dollar amounts are associated with each win and each winner may decide whether to receive the cash or a non-cash (hardware) award, such as a plaque, rosette, coaster, etc. of fairly equal value with shipping figured in. This gives winners the option and by having non-cash awards made after the meet the winner’s name can be included in custom designed awards.
• Both member and Non-member junior competition winners are eligible for Rosettes and Ribbons offered by the Ameraucana Alliance.
• Eggs entered into the egg judging contest become the property of the Ameraucana Alliance
