Show held in conjunction with the Edmonton Area Rabbit Society (E.A.R.S.). If you
have ideas to improve the show, let us know – please take some time to speak
with a committee member, write us a note, or email us.

All exhibitors must sign-in, confirm their exhibitor reports are correct and have their entries paid in full
before the commencement of the show. There shall be No Refunds for scratched entries after entries are
submitted.
Changes, after entries are submitted, must be presented to the Show Secretary or a Show Superintendent
for a $5 per rabbit per show fee.
No exhibitor shall alter class sheets in any way. Any changes to the class sheets made by anyone but the
Show Secretary or approved committee member will be considered void/disqualified, and not eligible for
awards or points.
All rabbits must be permanently and legibly tattooed in the left ear. Rabbits deemed not to have a
legible/permanent tattoo will be disqualified. Marker/pen is not acceptable. Exception for the Commercial
Buck and Doe classes (if offered).
No rabbit shall be placed in a class if the tattoo number does not match the class sheet. This constitutes
a disqualification.
Entries must be the bona fide property of the exhibitor and entered under their name and not in the
Rabbitry name. Entry forms must state proper name of breed, colour/variety, class, sex and tattoo # of each
animal. Incomplete or illegible entry forms will not be accepted. Please read entry form carefully. The Show
Secretary is not responsible for errors made due to illegible entry form.
All exhibitors are responsible for getting their animals to and from the show table before judging of class
begins. If you are leaving the judging area, you must make arrangements to have appropriate rabbits taken
to the judging table or you forfeit your entry in that class.
Only Judges, Show Superintendents, Show Secretary and pre-assigned clerks are allowed behind the
judging table at any time. No exhibitors.
E.A.R.S. Show Superintendent/Show Committee reserves the right to reject any rabbits suffering from
