LOG-IN INFORMATION

TO BEGIN: Click on Sign In at the upper right-hand corner of your screen.

EXHIBITOR: Choose Exhibitor from the drop down menu to submit an individual’s entries. All exhibitors will need to create an account and establish a password each year. Every exhibitor who plans to show needs their own account.

QUICK GROUP: If you will be submitting entries for multiple family members or a group of exhibitors and wish to check out all in the same cart, choose Quick Group. You will still need to create a profile for each exhibitor but can access all the entries when logged in as a Quick Group.

TEAM/COMPANY NAME: Toggle this switch if you would like your name to be displayed as a Business or Farm Name.

PASSPORT: ShoWorks Passport is a way of creating one exhibitor account to keep year-after-year and use across all fairs and shows that use ShoWorks. (Optional)

CREATE ACCOUNT

Set up the exhibitor account. Enter the exhibitor (owner) First Name and Last Name along with address, phone number and email. If you select to use a Team/Company Name, list it in the First Name field. Last Name can name can be left blank.

Indicate number of horses, number of trailers and stalling preference.

Pay Premiums To: Use this field for the name of the person or entity that should receive any premium payments or checks. For example, if the exhibitor name is Smith Family Farms but the premium check should be issued to John Smith then enter John Smith in the 'Pay Premiums To' field. If the exhibitor name is the same as the pay to name, this field can be left blank.

Reminder – entries must be submitted in the name of the owner.
