Regional Awards Show and Banquet

The Regional Awards Show and Banquet is coming up fast.  Time sure flies when you are having fun.

For those cats that are receiving a Regional Award, and you all know who you are by this time, NOW is the time to get your photographs sent to Jan Rogers.  

Jan needs a color photograph of your award winning Championship Cat, Kitten and/or Premiership Cat as well as your Distinguished Merit cats. These are the photos that are used on the Award Plaques.

Your photo(s) need to be in Jan’s hands no later than May 14, 2003!!!  If you think that your cat has a possibility of a Regional win, please send a photo of your kitty so you can avoid getting a plaque with a nice CFA logo on it instead of your cat’s picture.  Hard copy photos are best for the production of the plaque. Photos with the best contrast make the best plaque.

 All photos will be returned with the plaque at the awards banquet.

 Please send your photos to:

Jan Rogers PO Box 1830 Stephenville, TX 76401

You can also ups/fedx, etc. to 105 Logan Lane for overnight delivery

 REMEMBER THE DEADLINE IS MAY 14.  

Information for the
Regional Awards Program,
video presentation and book.

1.    If you are a Regional Winner, DM, Best of Breed/division (1, 2, & 3 place) or Best or Second Best of Color Class, I need a color picture of your cat.

2.    The picture should be approximately 3.5" X 5" but this is not critical.  Horizontal works best but I can use a Vertical.  I will crop the image to show the most of the cat and reduce the background.  I will do this electronically and will not cut up your picture.

3.    Please put your cat's full name on the back of the picture.  Include the expected award or placement.

4.    If you want your pictures back, enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope.  I will also bring pictures to the awards dinner and show for you to pick up there.

5.    I want real pictures, not “home prints” of digital pictures.  Professionally printed digitals are fine.  The reason for this is that scanned photos sometimes give unusual patterns and untrue colors.

6.    If you just have to send a digital image at the last minute, I'll do the best I can with it.  It will need to be a .jpg format image.  Use the name of the cat as the file name.

7.    If you are the Best Cat in Championship, Premiership or Kitten, please send several pictures for the Best of the Best presentation.
