2. Entry fee for adults (age 21 and over ) is $8.00 per 16-page frame. The maximum number of frames per exhibit is 10 frames. This will not, however, inhibit an exhibitor from entering two or more exhibits of separate titles and subject matter. There is no minimum number of frames for an exhibit. Note: We have BOTH one-frame and Display Class exhibit sections. Exhibitors using our OnLine Entry Form will be billed for their entry fee after we have received your entry via the Internet.

3. There is no entry fee for youth exhibits.

4. All exhibits must be the property of the exhibitor. With the exception of exhibits which are jointly owned by family members (i.e., husband and wife), all exhibits must be the property of the person entering the exhibit.

5. The judging shall be on an open basis. By submission of the MIDAPHIL 2003 entry form, the exhibitor accepts the decision of the judges in all cases to be final.

7. MIDAPHIL 2003 will be set up on Thursday afternoon, October 9, 2003, in the Lenexa Community Center, 13420 Oak, Lenexa, Kansas. An exhibitor planning to bring his/her own exhibit(s) to the show, personally, should plan to deliver the exhibits to the hall between the hours of 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm that evening, and to assist in the mounting of his/her own exhibit.
