2013 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention

If you plan on receiving your award at the convention, you must register for the event by going online AND you must also notify USDF award's staff directly that you will be attending in order for USDF to have your award available for you to receive that evening.

If you plan to attend the awards banquet, you MUST notify the USDF by November 1, 2013. If you do not return the banquet reply form by November 1, 2013 the USDF will ship your awards in December to the address we have on file.

Photographs for the USDF Connection

The Yearbook issue of the USDF Connection will highlight some of the 2013 award winners. Deadline for submitting photos for the annual Yearbook issue of USDF Connection is the first Friday in October for Rider Awards and the last Friday in October for Year-End Awards (including All-Breeds). Due to limited space, only photos from Rider Awards and first placed year-end award recipients from each award category and level or division will be considered.

USDF will ONLY accept digital files for submissions to the USDF Connection Yearbook issue. Any hard copy photos will not be used or returned. The photo release form, an interactive electronic PDF can be filled out on your computer and MUST accompany your photo file in an e-mail sent to yearbook@usdf.org. Please make sure to save a copy of the PDF file to your computer then attach that file to your e-mail along with your photo file. If the photo was taken by a professional please fill out your portion of the form, save it, and forward it on to the photographer. The photographer will then fill out the rest of the form and send it and the photo to USDF.
