Creating Entries
Each exhibitor can have multiple entries. One entry must be made for each item, animal, class, etc. For
example, if an exhibitor is bringing 2 photographs, two entries into the photography class must be
created. If an exhibitor is showing one horse in 5 events, five class entries must be created. Once all
entries have been created for the first exhibitor, you have the choice of creating another exhibitor in this
family (and entries) or proceeding to check-out (submitting the entries, whether or not fees are
charged).
1. Click Add an Entry beside the correct
exhibitor (if more than one has been
created).
2. Click Select beside the first department you
wish to enter. Any departments that are not
available for entry will be noted as “Not
Available” with a short explanation.
3. After you select a department, you will see a list of divisions to select from, and then a list
of available classes. Also notice that there are
blue “Change” links in case you mistakenly
select an incorrect department, division, or
class.
4. After you have selected the class, click the
green Continue button.
5. If this is an animal class entry, you may be
required to specify which animal will be
exhibited in this class; that may be optional;
or you may NOT be able to specify the animal
at entry time. If you are able to do that, you
will see the option to “Add an animal”.
6. Fill in all of the fields with information about the animal you intend to exhibit. Click Create
and Add Animal when finished.
7. If the animal information was entered
incorrectly, you have the option to either
Remove From Entry (creating a new animal)
or Edit Animal Details. When it’s correct, click
Continue.
