Request Approval for New Classes

The AOA Show System Administrator in consultation with the AOA Show Rules Committee may approve new classes on a show-by-show basis. These new classes may provide opportunities for innovation. Such new classes must still adhere to existing judging criteria and show rules. Any show wishing to add classes must complete the Request Approval for New Classes on the Application for Certification form. Until written approval is provided by the AOA Show System Administrator, these classes may not be offered or promoted in any way. Classes must be approved for each show, each year.
