NAN Entry Ticket Information

Please use the following formula to help you calculate the total number of cards you need. Calculate your BREED HALTER, NON-BREED HALTER, and PERFORMANCE classes separately.

# of Classes x # of Judges x 2 Cards per Class

For example, if you have a SINGLE judge per class, and have 100 breed classes, your formula would be:
100 (classes) x 1 (judge) x 2 (cards per class) = 200 cards needed

Or, for example, if your show is DOUBLE judged, and you have 100 breed classes, your formula would be:
100 (classes) x 2 (judges) x 2 (cards per class) = 400 cards needed

Based on the formula above, I will need the following number of NAN tickets:

TOTAL BREED HALTER TICKETS (GREEN TICKETS)

TOTAL NON-BREED HALTER TICKETS (YELLOW TICKETS)

TOTAL PERFORMANCE TICKETS (PINK TICKETS)

If you need help calculating the number of cards needed, e-mail the show membership secretary at show-membership-secretary@namhsa.org.

Extra cards will AUTOMATICALLY be added to your cards count for splits, so use EXACT class counts only! Do NOT include novice, youth, animals, fantasy, mascot, fun classes or collector-group classes in your count.

NAMHSA Show Membership Fee

Please check ONE of the three boxes below. Note NEW FEE STRUCTURE effective March 1, 2006.

$30.00 - up to 250 cards total for show
$40.00 - 251-500 cards total for show
$55.00 - 501-750 cards total for show
$70.00 - 751-1000 cards total for show

Greater than 1000 cards would be $70 plus $7 per each additional 100 cards cards or fraction thereof (for example, the fee for 1050 cards would be $77.00)

A change fee of $10.00 will apply for any show changes, not splits, requested less than 60 days before the show.

Application Enclosure Checklist

This completed form;
My check or money order for my show membership fee, made payable to NAMHSA;
My draft show packet including my final classlist; and
My advertising plan.

PLEASE NOTE that it is crucial that you submit this application page with your classlist, show packet, and an accurate class count to the NAMHSA secretary. There have been a rash of applications lately where the showholder has made a mistake in the class count, forgotten to state that the classes will be split in some manner and failed to reflect this split in the class count, or simply didn't send in a class count altogether. You will need an ACCURATE class count to get the right number of NAN tickets!

Where to Send Your Application

You may mail your complete application to:

Jennifer Tate
Show Membership Secretary
1421 Roosevelt Rd.
Machesney Park, IL 61115

You may also e-mail your application to the Show Membership Secretary at Shadowfaxstudio@sbcglobal.net. In your e-mail, you must include 1) this completed application form, 2) your draft show packet, and 3) your advertising plan, as outlined above. You must then snail mail your check or money order for your membership fee payment to the Show Membership Secretary. Your Membership Application will NOT be complete until the fee payment has been received. Again, please note that your fee payment can be made by check or money order made payable to NAMHSA.

Paypal is also accepted and must be sent to treasurer@namhsa.org.


Please be reminded that you must submit your application for your show to NAMHSA at least 60 days in advance of your show date.
