2024 Virtual Show
​
Entries Accepted Now through Sunday, August 4, 2024 11:59pm eastern
​
Part of the virtual show that makes it unique is the medium it is done in. Judging is based entirely on what is in the photo. If you submit a photo that cuts off the tail, or the feet are not visible, you may lose points. If a photo is blurry or unclear you may also lose points. Taking crisp and clear images is important for your gerbil to do well. Please send pictures as is. No alterations please. Pictures submittted must have been taken from May 1, 2024. Pet photos are excluded from this rule.
All Exhibition entries should be taken on a WHITE or BLACK background, preferably using a lightbox. Gerbils taken on a background that is not white or black or photos that do not have sufficient resolution are difficult to judge and may not ribbon.
