How To Ship Your Shrimp

We hope that all our contestants will join us for the show, as there is so much more going on than our contest. This might not be possible for everyone, so we will accept shipped shrimp as well. Contestants must ensure adequate and proper packaging of shrimps with each show group entry packed separately in transport bags. The transport bag must be marked with the following details: category, genus and, if applicable, the variant. Please ensure these details are clearly legible and applied with a waterproof marker. Do not include any name information written on the transport bags. Write your name and address only on the package exterior or include a letter with your name and address inside your package. 

Shipments will be accepted at the following address beginning Wednesday, July 31st 2024: 

ATTN: Adam Clayton Shrimp Contest
Schaumburg Convention Center
1551 Thoreau Dr N., Schaumburg, IL 60173

Verification is done with each registered group to ensure shrimp groups belong to the relevant group. Should problems such as missing or wrong labeling arise and no correct allocation is possible, the shrimps will be displayed in separate tanks outside of the contest floor with no possibility of being judged. 
Deliveries handed to team members in person must do so between 10:00am-4:00pm on Thursday and Friday August 1st and 2nd. We cannot guarantee deliveries or entries after this deadline will be able to be judged and may be placed in separate tanks outside of the contest floor, if not.  
Should you wish to deliver your show group entry in person, please make sure the transport bag is handed to one of the organizing members ONLY.
