ATTENTION EXHIBITORS
                         FREELANCE PHOTOGRAPHY NOTICE
We want to continue to include the freelance photography community to capture the competitors during the
events in Orlando and we request these procedures be followed in advance of attending.
There are official photographers that the clubs secure rights to photograph all win shots in each of the competi-
tions during the week, and no Freelance Photographers may shoot any of the official wins at any time. This is
defined as any picture of an entry, a judge and ribbons.
We have professional photographers that have paid for vendor space in various competitive areas. This would
include Conformation, Agility, Obedience, Diving Dogs, etc.
In order to maintain a level playing field for those vendors we will require any “Freelance Photographer” to submit
a vendor application to be approved in advance of the events. These photographers (and their assistants) will be
considered “Respective Assignees” that have the right to capture images during the six days of events. There will
be a fee of $1,000.00 to be able to shoot at the conformation events only.
If you want a booth on the show floor for equipment and point of sale use, that can be arranged for the Standard
Booth rate of $1,995.00 for the week.
Please contact Michael.Canalizo.Contractor@akc.org for an Application or Download it at:
https://www.akc.org/sports/conformation/national-championship/
Those photographers who annually request a Press Pass to shoot exclusively for a verifiable dog publication are
welcome to apply for their press passes directly from Brandi Hunter: VP of AKC Communications at:
Brandi.Hunter@akc.org . This will provide them access to shoot at the event for their publications use only.
Any candid photographer that desires to have private photoshoots may do so as long as the activity does not
happen within the venue during our contracted period.

ATTENTION OWNERS/EXHIBITORS OF FOREIGN REGISTERED DOGS
If you are the owner/exhibitor of a dog registered with a foreign registry (not yet dual registered with AKC) please
review the eligibility requirements in The Rules Applying to Dog Shows, chapter 11 section 1.The dog show rules
are posted on the AKC Web site at http://images.akc.org/pdf/rulebooks/RREGS3.pdf
                              MOST IMPORTANT TO NOTE ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Dogs must be individually registered with the American Kennel Club by the day of the event to be eligible for
exhibit in the Bred by Exhibitor class.
2. Dogs are eligible to compete in AKC events using the foreign registration for a period of 30 days. That 30-day
period begins with the date of first exhibit, regardless of whether the dog earned any points or awards. To continue
to compete in AKC events beyond the initial 30-day period the dog must be either individually AKC registered or by
the date of the event have been granted an extension to exhibit using the foreign registration. The owner or agent
can request an extension using the form found on the AKC Web site at http://images.akc.org/pdf/extenap.pdf.
