Official NALRC Sweepstakes Overview

Welcome to the North American Lionhead Rabbit Club's Sweepstakes Program. NALRC has put together a sweepstakes program for our members to win awards for accumulating points for wins at ARBA & NALRC sanctioned shows with your Black, Chocolate, REW, Seal, Siamese Sable, Smoke Pearl, and Tort (black, chocolate, blue, lilac) Lionheads.

ONLY POINTS EARNED FOR ARBA RECOGNIZED VARIETIES SHOWN IN NALRC SANCTIONED SHOWS WILL BE COUNTED. 

For those of you new to how Sweepstakes and Sanctions work in an ARBA chartered national breed club, here is a brief explanation: any local, regional or state rabbit club chartered with ARBA that is holding an ARBA Sanctioned All Breed Rabbit show may request to have NALRC sanction Lionhead rabbits at their show so that members can win sweepstakes points for their Lionheads shown. The sweepstakes is an annual contest in which members in good standing can win awards based on the points won by their rabbits at sanctioned shows during the contest period.

Both the show secretary and exhibitors can use the online sanction portal to sanction a show along with processing the appropriate sanction fee using PayPal, before the show. The online sanction process is automated and a confirmation is immediately received by the show secretary.  Sanction requests sent by mail and check should use the mail notification system to report the request to the sweepstakes counter. This can be found next to the online portal. Show secretaries must return the show report to the sweeps counter within 30 days of the show for points to be counted. A 30-day grace period is extended to all clubs. 

If there is an upcoming ARBA sanctioned show that you want to attend, and you are unsure of whether Lionheads will be sanctioned there by NALR, you can contact your show secretary.

We will soon offer our members a place to have photos of their winning Lionheads displayed. 

The Final Year Sweepstakes reports are completed by March 1st of the following year to allow follow-up with local clubs for outstanding reports the NALRC has not received.  Awards are distributed in April of the following year.
