CONFORMATION + MUSICAL FREESTYLE SETTING
The show is held on the ice rink in Bryant Park at nightime. The Christmas Tree in the park is also lit. (2nd image is for tree reference). Dogs will be stacked in front of the tree so that it is in the background. The overhead lights are purple, as seen in the below. On either side of the rink are clear buildings where people are watching the show from the warmth. Surrounding the rink is seating for anyone braving the cold.
Dogs will be shown on a red and green carpet that covers the ice to prevent slippage.
Musical Freestyle will be in the same setting as the above. There will be no ice skating going on during the event.
BONUS ENTRY
Bonus points (+5) will be awarded to anyone who makes a image of their handler OR dog making a not..graceful entrance onto the stage. Ice is slippery and maybe the dog wants to run off the carpet! Please note that no one should actually get hurt, maybe just a bit of ego bruising is all

Comparison to Gallery (1-20) : Score should be higher the more positive consistencies and differences there are. These are judged against the artists gallery. Techniques (such as brushes, fur, anatomy, style, etc), as well as, composition (creativity of pose, style, dog, background, etc) will also be judged on positive consistencies and differences. If an entry is commissioned, the entry will be judged against the gallery of the artist that made the piece, NOT the owner of the dog.
Breed Standard (1-5): CONFORMATION ONLY. How correct the dog is to the written standard for their breed in color, conformation, gait, etc.
Color Club Conformation Score (1-6): CONFORMATION ONLY; If applicable. How correct the dog is to the written standard for their breed in conformation, gait, minus color. (Color Club Conformation class only).

Show Accuracy (0-10) : How accurately the artist depicts the show and setting.
Artistic Appeal (0-10): This category takes into consideration color use, general appeal, composition, shading, perspective, an obvious light source, and general creativity.
