The Champ Show Entry Committee recommends moving up the qualification date for Champ Show one week . With many of the committee members and Board Members unavailable during Labor Day weekend , it is difficult to have the entry deadline Labor Day weekend . By changing the entry date , then the qualification date would need to be changed as well . Currently the qualification deadline is 14 days prior to Labor Day , and it is proposed to move it 22 days prior to Labor Day . Motion made by Kevin Berger , seconded by Julie Gintner change the qualification deadline to 08 / 13 / 2023 . Motion carried unanimously .
The Champ Show entry deadline will be August 27 th , 2023 .
