This is an English style show open to koi hobbyists. Club affiliation is required. All fish shown must be
the personal and private property of the registrant. This is a ZNA rules show and therefore is not open to
Koi Professionals. For the purposes of this show, the ZNA definition of Koi Professional is; "one who
derives income from a Koi hobby related business". Examples would be as follows:

a.
Koi retailer or wholesaler (dealer), immediate relative of a Koi dealer or employee of a Koi dealer

b.
Dry goods retailer/wholesaler - sells Koi food, pond filtration supplies, is a pond installer, pond
maintenance, etc. In general, provides direct hobby related items or services affecting the life of
Koi.

c.
Examples of those exempt/not falling into the categories of a. / b. are businesses like; Koi
pins/design, Koi related jewelry or home decorations such as art or ceramics and other things of
a like nature. Any questions as to whether an entrant might fall into a particular category above,
should be addressed to the Koi Show Director/Co-Chairs.

d.
An entrant must not have qualified as a Koi Professional for a period of one year prior to the
show.

ALL KOI ENTERED MUST BE OWNED BY AMATEUR HOBBYIST. OWNERS NEED NOT BE PRESENT AS LONG AS THE SIGNED RELEASE FORM ACCOMPANIES THE DEALER/REPRESENTATIVE ENTERING THE KOI. DEALER OWNED KOI NOT ALLOWED!
This was from Don Chandler on other forum where I asked about showing:

Wet dealer no. Dry dealer yes. Pond builder not wet dealer unless you sell fish two. Only my thoughts and worth what you paid.
Ok so I don't import Koi or sell Koi am just dry goods only/designing/counsultation/Installation........does this then mean I can enter your show? Based on this answer and what you have in your rules?


It seems tha ZNA rules state no dealers (Wet/Dry) anyone profiting from the business or employee's. So need to have a clear answer on this. I have a personal collection and have have had it for years, but have always been turned down because of my biz am in. I can't show at my own show S.D. so have not even tried .............so if someone could answer this I would thank you.
