About online entries: Please read this first!

  •  The Standard Flower Show, Camellia Show, and Dahlia Show are processed differently than the other departments. To pre-register online, exhibitors follow the same process as for other departments, but make only one entry in the “Pre-registered (Standard Flower, Camellia or Dahlia) Entry” class for their particular show. To pre-register by mail, exhibitors may print the General Entry Form, fill in the contact information at the top, then mail to: Georgia National Fair, Georgia Living Department, 401 Larry Walker Pkwy., Perry, GA 31069. There is no need to fill in Division and Class numbers, as entries are processed from the actual exhibit tags after the show is judged.
  • Fine Art images must be submitted separately by email (contests@gnfa.com) after online registration is complete. There is no way to attach them during the online entry process. Please make sure the images are labeled or identified in the body of the email. Also, please note in the email whether your entries were made online or by mailing your form. 
  •  For Youth Art entries, teachers (or parents of students entering as individuals) must obtain a password by contacting contests@gnfa.com. Deadline to obtain password is September 11, 2013. Note: It may take up to 24 hours to process passwords, so please do not wait until deadline date to obtain your password. Youth Art entry registrations will only be accepted online.
  • The online entry process will be made available in July as the competition information is updated.

The linked information below is for the 2013 Fair.  The non-linked information will be updated as it becomes available.
