Total possible Votes:: 261 members

The NAMHSA Board of Directors is happy to announce the approval of NAN buy-ins for NAN 2021.  Due to the shortened nature of the 2019/2020 showing season, NAMHSA will allow buy-ins at NAN 2021 for non-qualified models. Buy-ins will allow for additional funding for NAN that will help not only to help defer entry fee increases, but also allow for the possibility of classes with multiple judges. This will also allow for models that were not otherwise able to be qualified, due to the current pandemic, to enter NAN 2021!


As a reminder, models with cards valid for any of the following NANs will not require buy-ins:

 

2016/2017/2018/2019

2017/2018/2019/2020

2018/2019/2020/2021

2019/2020/2021/2022

2020/2021/2022/2023

2021/2022/2023/2024

 

Buy-ins will be permitted in two tiers:

 

Tier 1: models with an expired NAN card.

These models will only be able to enter in the class their expired NAN card is for.

The expired card must be submitted with all other cards Entry fees will be double the normal price for a Tier 1 Buy-In. PANDEMIC DISCOUNT: Entry fees will be one dollar above the normal price per model for NAN 2021 only.


Tier 2: models with no NAN qualification

These models will be placed in the most appropriate class depending on the breed, collectibility/workmanship, and/or performance description provided by the shower.

Entry fees will be triple the normal price for a Tier 2 Buy-In. PANDEMIC DISCOUNT: Entry fees will be double the normal price per model for NAN 2021 only.
