STALL DECORATING CONTEST

To make the Central States Curly Show more fun and educational for visitors, the show committee will offer discounted stabling to those who decorate their stalls. We also offer prizes for the best decorated stalls. A winner will be named for each of the 3 following divisions: Most Creative, Most Informative, and Most Professional. Judging will be conducted Saturday no earlier than 10am. Decorated stalls will be awarded points on the following basis:

• Coverage of available space.
• Artistic merits such as decorative articles and use of color.
• Educational display on a horse related subject. Minimum size for the educational display is poster board size (22 × 28 inches). Breeder advertisements, business information, sales advertisements, and records of show successes may not make up more than 50% of display. Encouraged: information about the breed, your horses, your discipline, or what makes your horse/farm unique! Photos of curlies at work and play strongly encouraged.
• Decoration may not extend more than 24" into aisle. Feel free to use 3-D decorations or small tabletop displays but points will be lost for cluttered aisleways.
• Stalls purchased under discount but not providing a minimum of one posterboard sized display and at least 50% covering of some sort by 10am Saturday will be billed for full charge stabling and failure to pay may result in disqualification from number of classes equal to amount owed.
