IAFE (International Association of Fairs and Expositions)
National Code of Show Ring Ethics:
Exhibitors of animals at livestock shows shall at all times deposit
themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their conduct in
this competitive environment shall always reflect the highest
standards of honor and dignity to promote and advance of agricultural
competition. This code applies to all livestock offered in any event a
livestock show. In addition to the IAFE National Code of Show Ring
Ethics, “fairs and livestock shows may have rules and regulations,
which they impose, on the local, county, state, provincial and national
levels. All youth leaders working with junior exhibitors are under an
affirmative responsibility to do more than avoid improper conduct or
questionable acts. Their moral values must be so certain and positive
that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by their fine
example. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers and absolutely
responsible persons who violate the code of ethics will forfeit
premiums, awards and auction proceeds and shall be prohibited from
future exhibition in accordance with the rules adopted by the
respective fairs and livestock shows. Exhibitors who violate this code
of ethics demean the integrity of all livestock shows in the United
States and Canada. The following is a list of guidelines for all
exhibitors and all livestock in competitive events:
1. All exhibitors must present, upon request of fair and
livestock show officials, proof of ownership, length of
ownership and age of all animals entered.
Misrepresentation of ownership, age, or any facts
relating thereto is prohibited.
2. Owners, exhibitors, fitters, trainers or absolutely
responsible personas shall provide animal health
certificates from licensed veterinarians upon request by
fair or livestock show officials.
3. Junior exhibitors are expected to care for and groom
their animals while at fairs or livestock shows.
4. Animals shall be presented to show events where they
will enter the food chain free of violating drug residues.
The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the
giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer
and/or absolutely responsible person for show
management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva,
blood, or other substances from the animal to be used in
testing. Animals not entered in an event which
culminates with the animal entering the food chain shall
not be administered drugs other than in accordance
with applicable federal, state, and provincial statutes,
regulations and rules affect the animal’s performance or
appearance at the event. If the laboratory report on the
analysis of saliva, urine, blood, or other sample taken
from livestock indicates the presence of forbidden
drugs or medication, this shall be prima facie evidence
such substance has been administered to the animal
either internally or externally. It is presumed that the
sample of urine, saliva, blood, or other substance tested
by the laboratory to which it is sent is the one taken
from the animal in question, its integrity is preserved
and all procedures of said collection and preservation,
transfer to the laboratory and analysis of the sample are
correct and accurate and the report received from the
laboratory pertains to the sample taken from the animal
in question and correctly reflects the condition of the
animal at the time the sample was taken, with the
burden on the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or
absolutely responsible person to prove otherwise. At
any time after an animal arrives on the fair or livestock
show premises, all treatments involving the use of
July 20- 24, 2016
drugs and/or medications for the sole purpose of
protecting the health of the animal shall be
administered by a licensed veterinarian.
5. Any surgical procedure or injection of any foreign
substance or drug or the external application of any
substance or drug or the external application of any
substance (irritant, counterirritant, or similar
substance) which could affect the animal’s performance
or alter its natural contour, confirmation, or
appearance, except external applications of substances
to the hoofs or horns of animals which affect
appearance only and except for surgical procedures
performed by a duly licensed veterinarian for the sole
purpose of protecting the health of the animal, is
prohibited.
6. The use of showing and/or handling practices or
devices such as striking animals to cause swelling, using
electrical contrivance, or other similar practices are not
acceptable and are prohibited.
7. Direct criticism or interference with the judge, fair or
livestock show management, other exhibitors, breed
representatives, or show officials before, during or after
the competitive event is prohibited. In the furtherance
of their official duty, all judges, fair and livestock show
management or other show officials shall be treated
with courtesy, cooperation and respect and no person
shall direct abusive or threatening conduct toward
them.
8. No owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer or absolutely
responsible person shall conspire with another person
or persons to intentionally violate this code of ethics or
knowingly contribute or cooperation with another
person or persons either by affirmative action or
inaction to violate this code of ethics. Violation of this
rule shall subject such individual to disciplinary action.
9. The application of this code of ethics provides for
absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an
owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or participant whether
or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had
actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in
contravention of this code of ethics.
10. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by
the owner, exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely
responsible person to have disciplinary action taken by
the fair or livestock show for violation of this code of
Show Ring Ethics and any other rules of competition of
the fair or livestock show without recourse against the
fair or livestock show. The act of entering an animal is
giving of consent that any proceedings or disciplinary
action taken by the fair or livestock show may be
published with the name of the violator or violators in
any publication of the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions and any special notices to members.
11. The act of entering of an animal in a fair or livestock
show is the giving of verification by the owner,
exhibitor, fitter, trainer, or absolutely responsible
person that he or she has read the IAFE National Code
of Show Ring Ethics and understands the consequences
of and penalties provided for actions prohibited by the
code. It is further a consent that any action that
contravenes these rules and is also in violation of
federal, state, or provincial statutes, regulations, or
4
rules may be released to appropriate law enforcement
authorities with jurisdiction over such infractions.

Bill Riley Talent Search
Contestant Rules
1. Show is open to legal residents of the state of Iowa only. Acts must appear in a locally sponsored/ISF sanctioned show somewhere
in the state of Iowa and be the show qualifier to be eligible to compete at the Iowa State Fair. Judges decisions are final.
2. Sprouts: 2 through 12 years Seniors: 13 through 21 years
A person’s age for the Iowa State Fair competition is determined at the time they win a local show. A 12 year old (or 21 year old)
could turn 13 (or 22) by State Fair and still be eligible in the Sprout (or Senior) division, as they met age requirements at the time of
qualification.
3. Sprout acts will be permitted to have one performer who is 13 years old only. If a performer in a Sprout act turns 13 before the
State Fair, thus making the Sprout act have two or more 13 year olds, that act will automatically become a Senior act. Any performer
who is 14 years or older will not be allowed to perform in a Sprout act.
4. Acts are required to keep the performance at three minutes or less. Acts running longer than three minutes are subject to possible
disqualification or point deduction. This will be at the judge’s discretion. Keep the act at three minutes please. Set-up time is not
included. Please try to limit set-up time to one minute.
5. No more than five persons are allowed in an act. Piano accompanist is NOT included in an act and may be any age. No more than
three accompanists permitted per act. Drums, amps, etc. are discouraged due to the one-minute set-up time. No combos, rock bands
or similar musical groups permitted.
6. Acts are asked to not dance onto or off the stage. After introductions, you may take any position you wish to begin your
performance.
7. Vocalists are strongly encouraged to practice and perform with the assistance of a vocal coach and/or a live accompanist. We
understand that live accompanists are expensive, and sometimes very difficult to obtain for some performers. We do allow recorded
accompaniment. The judges’ preference is a single instrument. Multiple tracks, although permitted, are not suggested. This is not a
karaoke contest. Any prerecorded track with backing vocals is not allowed, and the act will be disqualified.
8. Contestants may only appear once in any given show. This applies to qualifying shows as well as the competition at the Iowa State
Fair. They may not perform “solo” and then return in the same show in a duet or trio. Contestants are allowed to perform in different
acts in different shows, but they may only qualify for the State Fair Show with one act.
9. Professionals are NOT permitted to compete. This includes Union musicians and anyone whose principal source of income is
from their talent. Compensation for performing at weddings, etc. does not constitute principle source of income.
Competition at the Iowa State Fair
Semi-Finalists: Semi-finalists from last year’s Iowa State Fair Talent Search are automatically qualified for the next State Fair
competition. You do not have to re-qualify for next year’s show by winning at the local level show, but you are encouraged to
compete at local shows. If you win at the local level show, you are entitled to the prize money, but you must inform the Master of
Ceremonies that you have already qualified for the State Fair. The second place winner will then be able to advance to the State Fair
competition. Remember you are entitled to the first place prize money.
Birthdays and Semi-Finalists: Semi-finalists returning the following year will perform in the division for their current age. Example,
if a 12 year old makes the semi-finals in the Sprout division, and they turn 13 by the next State Fair they will be placed in the Senior
division.
Sprout Division Champions: There will be 6 Sprout Champions showcased in the Championship Show. All Sprout Champions in the
Sprout division must sit out one year of competition.* They also must re-qualify when returning after the one-year absence, and be
12 years old or less.
Senior Division Championship: There will be 9 finalists in competition. All finalists in the Senior division must sit out one year they cannot perform as an individual or in a group during the next year.They also must re-qualify when returning after the one-year
absence, and be 21 years old or less. The “Grand Champion” of the Senior division is no longer allowed to compete at the State Fair
Talent Show.
*The only exception to the one-year absence will be for Sprout Champions who were 12 years old when they won. They do not have
to sit out a year and are automatically qualified for the next State Fair as a Senior. It is highly recommended that they compete at the
local level as a Senior to get a feel for the older division.
All divisions must qualify within the age requirement. For example, if you are 21 and don’t qualify before you are 22 you are
ineligible, or if you are a Sprout and don’t qualify before you are 12 you will compete in the Senior division.
10. Acts will need name, complete address, birth date, age, phone number (include area code), email and type of talent. Multiple acts
need one member to act as a contact person with all information going through them. Additional members of the act need only birth
date, age, and town.
