Entry & Submission Deadline: Friday, February 5, 2021

Mandatory Quality Assurance and Ethics Training – All Jr livestock exhibitors will be required to participate in a Quality Assurance and Ethics Training. Currently, the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) online program has been approved by F & E to fulfill this requirement. Visit www.yqca.org and click Sign In/Register at the top of the page. Training must be complete prior to entry and posting of your entries.

  1. You must own the animal and the pictures /videos of the animal(s) you are entering. Please list the exhibitor’s name, organization or group, age, division and class on the entry at www.cloverdalecitrusfair.org.
  2. Your animal must currently be alive and be the age class and sex you are entering it as.
  3. The pictures/videos of your animal may not be photo shopped or excessively edited (cropping your pictures is acceptable). Judges may disqualify for this. 
  4. You must include 4 – 6 pictures of your animal. For the most accurate evaluation include properly posed pictures of: 
  • Both sides (2 pictures)
  • Rear (1 picture)
  • Wings Extended (1or 2 picture, if having 1 picture both wings must show completely)
  • Head On/Front  (1 picture)
  • Legs with leg band (1 or 2 pictures)

 ***Pic Collage (or similar) is acceptable and preferred, but not mandatory, for your entries. (1 per animal)

Helpful Hints:   

  1. Work with someone else when taking your pictures.
  2. Be aware of your background and lighting. A black bird with a black background doesn’t  work.
  3. Your bird should be the main focus of the picture and cover as much of the frame as possible.
  4. Make sure your picture is in focus.
  1. Judges opinions are not up for debate. Civil comments and concerns are allowed but places will not be changed and harassment will not be tolerated.
  2. While this is not an American Poultry Association or American Bantam Association sanctioned show, the official breed standards are followed for each section.
  3. All entries MUST include required information – breed, variety, class (Cock, Cockeral, Hen or Pullet) and leg band number on the entry form on www.cloverdalecitrusfair.org
