We have a very active group of youth members who are the future of our hobby.  We actively encourage our members to join in the state youth contests 


Indiana Youth Contest Synopsis:

The ISRBA Youth are welcome to participate in Breed ID throughout the year using a Breed ID sheet prepared for each show. 

At the annual ISRBA Convention there are many ways for youth to compete with their rabbit knowledge and skills. Here is a brief description of these contests. Please see more detailed information in our Youth Contest Rules Pdf.

Breed Identification*

• Youth use their knowledge to identify 25 breeds and varieties of Rabbits and Cavies.

Judging Competition*

• Youth get to judge 3 sets of 4 animals hands on and place those animals according to their judgments.

Showmanship

• Youth ages 11 and under practice rabbit showmanship according to the ARBA guidelines.

Royalty

• Royalty is comprised of Breed ID, a Written Test, and Judging/Showmanship (depending on the age of the competitor)

Educational Contests

• These are premade displays which can include posters, crafts, woodworking, poetry, etc. about rabbits and cavies.

*Youth who compete and place high enough in these contests may compete at ARBA Nationals on Team Indiana
