You will be contacted by email to schedule an appointment time ON OR AFTER the date the Judging Schedule has been published. Exhibitors are contacted in the order of pre-registration, “first come, first serve.” It is important that you respond ASAP to secure an appointment time because as we work down the list of pre-registrations, appointment times fill up as we hear back from exhibitors. We will do our best to schedule you at your preferred time, but we ask that you be flexible if that time is no longer available. Please check your email & respond to confirm the appointment date and time! Appointment times will fill up quickly. Pre-registration fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
