We are pleased to announce the following Junior Showmanship winners for 2003!

It should be noted the program rules require attendance at a minimum of 3 shows at the junior/senior level to be eligible to receive an award. Therefore, a missing award (e.g. 2nd Best Junior in region 1) may be caused by the minimum show requirement not being met. Official
letters will be sent via regular mail next week to all participants.

Below are the standings for Junior Showmanship 2002-2003.

Children 8-11 years compete in the Junior Division. The Senior Division is for participants 12-15 years old.

Scoring is based on the judges' averaged numerical scores, rankings and comments as well as the number of JS competitors defeated to obtain a Best or Second Best award.
