PAOBA is continuing to move forward with the Breeders' Showcase as part of the MA and PA Alpaca Pronk and we are closely monitoring any rules and regulations set forth by the Pennsylvania Governor and the Department of Health. We will post updates as needed.
Anyone can enter the competition-no membership in the Pennsylvania Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Maryland Alpaca and Breeders Association or the Alpaca Owners Association is required !!
The Photography Competition is another great way to market your farm! We all have those special photos of our alpacas that we hold near and dear. So, here’s your chance to show o! your photography skills, those special alpaca moments, and your wonderful alpacas. All attendees and alpaca owners are invited to participate in the Photo Contest. Photos will be judged on creativity, composition, content, and artistic merit.
Please enter your photography on the online Show Registration Site. You can find the photo contest under “Stalling, Sponsors, Volunteering and Other Fees”.
