Any individual shrimp breeder may participate with their own breeds that fall within one of the 14 accepted categories. An obligation is to only enter self-raised shrimp for the contest and by registering, the breeder affirms that the shrimp groups they will present have been self-bred and raised themselves. In the case of reasonable doubt, the group in question will be disqualified. If this happens, the registration fee is not returned.

The registration list is ONLY made available to the organizing committee.

Each contestant can select UP To 3 groups per category (between Option 1 and Option 2) - Please choose the category appropriately. There are 2 Choices:

Option 1: $40 Per Group

The owner of the shrimp will arrange to take their shrimp back after the contest is over.

Option 2: $30 Per Group

*With option 2, the owner will auction the groups after the contest. In this case, the owner will be compensated with 40% of the proceeds generated from the auction, provided they are present at the show or have elected a representative in advance to the organizing committee.

**In the case that the breeder has not provided a representative in writing prior to the contest, and is not present for the auction, they will forfeit their claim to compensation.
