Online Entry Available for National Junior
Angus Show and Contests
Faster, easier way to enter for show and
contests available.
National
Junior Angus Association (NJAA) members have an easier and more efficient method
to enter their contest materials in the National Junior Angus Show (NJAS)
taking place July 7-13 in Madison, Wisconsin. An online entry portal has been
established to allow participants to upload their materials and entries online,
opposed to submitting entries by mail or signing up at the NJAS.
The
deadline for graphic design, writing and photography is May 15. Prepared
speaking and career development entries are due by May 25, while extemporaneous
speaking, poster, judging, auctioneering and skill-a-thon entries must be
signed-up for prior to June 27. Contest sign-up at NJAS will only be available
for a limited time during check-in. Quiz bowl, team fitting, team marketing and
team sales will maintain the same entry format; state advisors must complete
and enter those contests at the NJAS.
“In
previous years, contest entries have been mailed into the Association where
they were organized and hauled to the National Junior Angus Show,” said Caitlyn
Brandt, Association events coordinator. “The new system will allow participants
to easily upload their work, saving time and resources in the entry process.”
The
new system is available at angus.org/njaa. Contact
the events and education department at 816.383.5100 or info@njaa.org for more
information.
