The first, second, and third place winners will be determined according to their ranking in the current SCI record book. Every animal entered qualifies for either a plaque or a certificate. Enter as many animals as you wish, as often and as early as possible. All entries must be submitted no later than February 28, 2009 and must include a check, photo, score sheet and registration to determine ranking
Our new policy is to accept all entries, regardless of how old, as long as they have never been entered in previous years with preferences given to animals taken during the 2008 season. Our preference is that you submit digital photos via email to gciafre@gmpgeneralproducts.com and you may mail the remainder. You may choose from either an attractive 5x7 certificate suitable for framing at a cost of $10 each or a wooden engraved plaque that is consistent with plaques awarded in previous years for $30 each. Both certificate and plaque will contain the same information.
