Here are some words from Carl Krajniak, Jar Show

Program Chairman, to explain how the Jar Shows work.

The purpose of having jar shows is to have a friendly

competition among club members.  Being in competition

can enhance your skills in learning the difference

between nice fish and show fish.  It's also a nice

way to show off the fish you're keeping at home.

Participation in jar shows is also a way to encourage

you, as members, to enter your fish and aquatic life into

the open show competitions of other area clubs, whenever

the opportunity arises.

Experienced members of G.D.A.S. will be asked to

judge the jar shows.  It's a great way to train the eye

in looking for that something extra that makes an

entry a winner.

Participation in the Jar Show Program, win or loose,

makes everyone a winner, you're the glue that makes

G.D.A.S. strong, BE ACTIVE!

The current Jar Show Rules are:

1. Only members of GDAS may enter competition for awards.

2. An exhibitor may enter as many entries as they want, there

    is no charge for entries.

3. There may be no more than one fish or aquatic animal per

    container, unless that container has a divider inserted.

4. Any container will be allowed with at least one flat side

    (not including the bottom).

5. An exhibitor may either be one person, two persons, or

    a family.  An individual exhibitor may disengage from a

    group, but must start over as far as his/her point total.

6. Gravel is optional at the exhibitor's discretion.  It is not

    necessary.

7. Judges cannot have an entry in the Jar Show they are judging. 

8. Any questions or problems concerning the Jar Show are to be
