MDHA CUSTOM BY REMUNERATED ARTIST MAKE SHOW

CLASS RULES

1. There is a limit of 4 photos per class per owner.

2. All breeds show together.

3. Defination of Remunerated Artist. "Anyone who has been paid an equivalent for their services, either by money or by trade." Artist must be known and must be stated in the comment line.

4. Defination of a Hobby Artist. "Anyone who customized for themselves and does not advertised who sale or trade any results of their work."

5. How To Enter Entries are made using the Modeldoghobby.com PHP Model Dog Show Program. You will find the Main Page at:
   Model Dog Shows

6. Entrants must join by registering their Kennel Name and receive a password. Please be sure to Name your kennel something easy and to remember the EXACT spelling of the kennel name. Entrants will then upload and be responsible for making all entries, deletions and repairs to their images.

7. Do not name your dogs with prefix or suffix initials or punctuation in the name such as apostrophe, hyphen or commas. You may interfere with the prefix and suffix title achievement awards the program generates to the dogs names after it achieves a set number of points in any division.

   Please do not use any space or punctuation in the User ID (Kennel Name) or in the password. The PHP Program that runs the script and shows can not process these.
   Example User Name: No - Blue Moon's Kennel. Yes - Blues Moons Kennel.
   Example File Name: No - Red_Dawg_tirejump.jpg Yes - RedDawgtirejump.jpg
   Example Dogs Name: No - BMR's Red Dawg Yes - BMRs Red Dawg.

8. When registerng and uploading your new entries Do Not use a generic image such as a "Coming Soon" photo to represent your entries. Do not make a registration out for any model that you DO NOT HAVE a photo of yet. Unapproved images still go into a class and display with whatever image is uploaded. So that generic photo will be the one that displays. Also, you are making double the work for the moderators who go through every day and approve photos since they will disapprove the generic photo and then approve the same registration later when the correct image has over written the generic one. As of April 2010, the moderators will no longer approve generic entries and will simply delete the entire registration from your account.

9. Photos must be in .jpg format and no larger than 450 pixels in width and or height, scanned at not greater than 300 dpi or less with a file size of 90k or less. This will be strictly enforced and any other images will be resized by show uploader or deleted at their discretion.

10. Photos that have been copyrighted, signed or named somewhere on the photo will be allowed as long as the writing or copyright mark does not cover the dog in any manner.

11. Framed or oval shaped photos will NOT BE allowed.

12. Model may be flipped in performance in order to have the model be on the correct side of any handler doll but not in conformation. The model itself MAY NOT BE ALTERED IN ANY MANNER. Digital altering of photo backgrounds is allowed for the purpose of hiding any use of support, such as models negotiating an obstacle where the foot support needs to be blended into the obstacle. Models placed upon bases, plexi rods or held up by fishing wire may have those removed from the photo background and from the attaching area of the model. Bases may also be altered to reach the entire length of the photo in order to make the base appear larger and blend into the background or footboard. Photos that are not enhanced in this way are to be judged equally against enhanced photos and should not be penalized for showing supports or footings.

13. Rule Pertaining to Ownership and Showing of Models: You must own the model you are showing or have show rights to do so. If you sell a model you are currently showing you must either transfer the model to the new owner or unclick the entry from the show and retire the model. The only "official show rights" to a model that is not owned by the exhibitor is to show the model by proxy for the new owner and the new owner must have their ownership stated in the information line.

14. Once you have entered the show you do not have to re enter. The program does that for you. If you have new additions you must send those as stated above.

17. Custom Make Show classes are judged using the following judging criteria:
    1) Correctness of Conformation/Color for the breed listed (did the changes ENHANCE the mold?)
    2)Realism of Color and Breed (does this breed come in this color, and was it done realistically paint wise)
    3) Quality of work done, paint job, prepwork, sculpting work and attention to DETAILS.
    4) Presentation
    5) Photo quality.
    The order in which these should be consider and the importance of them are up to the judge's decision.

Props (leads, show ring barriers, handlers, judges, etc.) are allowed but not required. The use of these should not devalue or promote a higher placing when judging conformation.
