a GVHS Show?

Geographic Considerations

Geographic balance for awarding show points is considered in qualifying show approval. The GVHS will limit the number of approved shows in any one state to no more than 5 approved shows per year.

In addition, location and date of shows will be considered to prevent events competing in the same general area and time as another event.

It is also expected that a reasonable number of GVHS points approved classes are offered at the show. There are also some REQUIRED classes that must be offered in order to be a GVHS pointed show. (see GVHS Points Program document).

Start by filling out the GVHS Show Application Form

To be approved, all requests for show recognition MUST be received by the GVHS at least 90 days prior to the show dates.
