An animal show - for example, cats - is a real treat for owners and their pets. However, this is hard work for the organizers - you need to find a suitable room, invite judges, invite a participant and manage the whole process so that the event turns out to be large enough and entertaining.
It is necessary
- - premises;
- - cages for animals;
- - experts;
- - stewards;
- - prizes and diplomas.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what kind of event you are planning to host. Cat shows are divided into open, club, national and international. Clubhouse implies a small number of animals of one or two breeds and the closed work of judges without spectators and the awarding of titles. Open national exhibitions are much more spectacular events. They should have many participants of different breeds (usually at least a hundred). Judging is obligatory with the involvement of experts not lower than the national category, animals are evaluated and receive titles.
Step 2
International exhibitions are even more ambitious. At least 150 cats participate in them, and 20% of the total must be from other countries. The judges include at least two experts of the international category. There are also advertising exhibitions - events organized with the aim of selling kittens and promoting certain breeds.
Step 3
Select the type of ring - English (European) or American. The first involves a closed examination without the owner's permission, the second is held on an open podium with the owners and spectators. For a large public exhibition, it is the American ring that is preferable, since the public really likes it.
Step 4
Assemble a team. For a large event, 3-4 people are needed who will be engaged in calling nurseries, working with owners, printing catalogs and diplomas, purchasing cages and other organizational issues.
Step 5
Contact kennels and cat fanciers clubs. It will take a lot of time - but after the end of the work you will have a base that you can use when organizing the next exhibitions. Advertise the upcoming event in newspapers and on themed Internet sites.
Step 6
Calculate the exact number of participants and collect an admission fee - an amount that confirms the seriousness of the intentions of the owners of the animals. This way you will insure yourself against possible no-show of exhibitors. Be sure to confirm the payment by issuing receipts.
Step 7
Invite experts. Their level depends on the type of exhibition. Amateur events are judged by experts of the third category, and large international exhibitions are judged by experts of the first category. You will need stewards or assistant referees to carry and present the cats. Volunteers are usually recruited for this role. The number of assistants depends on the number of participants.
Step 8
Find a room. For the exhibition, you can use empty pavilions of industry fairs, shopping or office centers, palaces of culture. It is desirable that it is convenient to get to the place of the future exhibition, both for participants and spectators. You will need a large room, a separate room for judges, a lounge where you can organize a mini-buffet. Select the date of the event and pay the rent. The exhibition usually takes two to three days.
Step 9
Think over the exhibition program. As part of the event, additional contests can be held - for example, a pet show or an audience choice award. Find partners and sponsors. This role can be played by clubs, pet salons, veterinary clinics, and manufacturers of cat food.
Step 10
Consider advertising for the event. Print flyers and distribute them to shopping and entertainment centers. Advertising on transport, on themed Internet sites and on local television gives a good return.
