Exhibitors must create an online account to make entries. It is highly recommended that exhibitors create a Passport usage account to ensure they can track their entries. Each individual exhibitor that plans to show must have their own account.

 

Quick Group accounts are available where families may create a “quick group” and add all their exhibitors to it. When they are ready to make entries into the system this will allow the family to log into each exhibitor’s account. This is optional.

 

During the entry process exhibitors are encouraged to SAVE CART and SAVE OFTEN. Saving the cart is the only way to keep user data and allows you to return later to complete your submissions.

 

The Illinois State Fair Premium Book may be found under the Competitive Events tab of the Illinois State Fair Website. Rules and Regulations, Department Rules, and a list of classes and requirements for entry can be found there. Exhibitors are responsible for meeting the requirements found in the Premium Book and must certify during the final stages of entry that they understand and will abide by those requirements.

 

At the conclusion of the entry process a mandatory office fee is applied to the exhibitor. Exhibitors may also purchase tack stalls at the time of checkout. One or two complimentary tack stalls will be assigned to each county for those exhibitors wishing to share.  

 

Junior Horse Show Exhibitors must provide copies of the ownership/lease papers and a set of color pictures, one of each side of each animal, upon making entries. Exhibitors will submit this documentation to the Competitive Events Office via email at: ISF.Livestock@Illinois.gov.

 

Entry deadlines are found at the top of each page of the Premium Book. Exhibitors are reminded that any entries that have not been submitted and paid for at the deadline will be considered incomplete and deleted from the system.

 

Exhibitors are reminded that taxpayer identification and Social Security Numbers are used by the Department to verify the Exhibitor’s identity and/or to submit payment to the Comptroller’s Office. Premiums will not be paid unless this information is provided. Exhibitors will be prompted to fill out a W-9.
