General Rules

There will be one Premier Exhibitor Award given to the highest overall point scorer from each of the following departments:  Beef, Sheep, Swine, Horse, Goat, Dairy Cattle, Rabbit, Poultry and Dogs.
The Premier Exhibitor Award will be open to all age divisions:  Junior:  8 - 10 years old (plaque),  Intermediate:  11 - 14 years old (trophy),  Senior:  15 - 18 years old (chair)
Scoring for the award will be broken down into 3 categories for each species including: Skillathon score, Showmanship placing and the exhibitor’s top live animal placing.
To receive Skillathon points for Premier Exhibitor, exhibitors must have an animal entered in that species.  Participants may still enter the Skillathon in species other than those in which they have projects entered; however, they will not be eligible for Premier Exhibitor in those species.
For tie breaking purposes, the contestants’ Skillathon score will take priority, followed by their Showmanship placing.
Scores will be figured according to the following point system:  1st Place:  10 points,  2nd Place:  9 points,  3rd Place:  8 points,  4th Place:  7 points,  5th Place:  6 points
The awards for each specie will be presented at the Showman of Showmen contest.
Participation is required on all three (Skillathon, showmanship and live animal classes) to qualify for Premier Exhibitor.
The committee will make a best effort to notify Premier Exhibitor winners for the ceremony.  Results will be posted at the JFB Office.
