TICA north West virtual show rules

Anyone can enter any cat (no restriction), this is NOT an official show, your cat WILL NOT gain titles, awards, etc except possibly virtual awards.

If you have paperwork that your cat is pedigreed or you know that your cat is a pedigreed cat whose parents were registered – enter it into cat or kitten or alter category (those are for pedigreed cats).

If you have a cat with no known pedigree or no breed, enter it as a household pet (HHP) or household kitten (HHPK),

Kitten class is for kittens 4 month of age to 8 month of age
Cats are for 8 month of age and older and cats are intact
Alters are for 8 month of age and older and for cats which are spayed and neutered
HHP Kitten is for domestic kittens 4 month – 8 month of age
HHP adults are for domestic cats 8 month of age and older
Advanced and preliminary new breeds are those breeds which are not yet accepted in TICA (see tica.org for the list of those breeds)
Cat Fashion Show Runway – dress your cat and send pictures of the cat for the competition
Rainbow Bridge – send us pictures of your beloved cats which passed away. We KNOW those pictures are "as-is" and we respect it.

We would love to have a picture of the profile, face and body shot. If you wonder what good body shot is – it’s the shot which shows the body in any shape or form (even if the cat is laying on the back, and we can see the body – it’s a good shot). FB group below describes the good views for body shots.

Please make sure that your pictures have no YOU in them (or anyone else apart from the cat).

Payment – $10 US for US citizens and $10 Canadian for Canadians. Please use "friends and family" if you can. Paypal to pay the fee treasurer@ticanw.com.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

TICA NORTHWEST

How to take pictures of the cat?
Please be advised that it's easier to take pictures when you can make the cat want to look at you. You can attract attention by playing with the toy. We expect the profile, face and body shot. Profile – depicts profile of the cat, face shows face when you look at it and body shows the best view you think you have of the body. Please note the pictures can be professional or not – it is up to you what you pick as the most amazing shot of your beautiful cat!
How to upload pictures?
Our entry form will help you with all of it. You need 3 pictures for regular cat/Cat fashion or 2 for cat Rainbow bridge.
How will the judging happen?
On May 16th judges will have access to your pictures. They will be numbered and placed into categories and every judge (4 separate judges) will judge the beauty of your cat by picture. After that, each of the judges will pick their top 10 in each category and provide those to the scorers. We hope to have albums provided for everyone to see all the entries and post the placements done by every judge. Every judge will do their own way of presenting their finals the best way they can (remember, not everyone has ability record the fanfares but each of our judges definitely will try their best).

On May 17th we hope to have our scorer provide scores for each category so that we can figure out top 10 of the whole show. Our show manager Alex Marinets will then provide a video/live show/whatever she figures out for everyone to listen and enjoy.

Top 10 in all categories will get free entry to the International virtual show held June 13-14 2020.
