- ARI certificate for each fleece entered. This would already have been done when entering Spin-off if you are registering for Cottage.

- When scanning, set scanner to 300 dpi and the resulting image should load to the registration site. The official registration image from AOA should be of proper size to load. If you have multiple Owner of Record forms or disclosures to upload, scan as a multi-page image. Only one file of each will load to registration site.

UPS and FedEx and USPS are all acceptable shippers to this address. Unless you have a prepaid label from UPS or FedEx, all fleeces will be mailed back using the USPS.

To provide a prepaid label when you ship your fleeces out, bring your fleece to UPS or FedEx with the box UNSEALED so that you can slip your label in the box before shipping.

- Print out a shipping label with your address on it
- After the show I will put this label on your box along with any ribbons or special awards and ship it back to you. When it gets scanned, your account/credit card gets charged.
- DO NOT send a prepaid Priority Mail label from the USPS. It will not include the extra weight added by the ribbons and therefore not have enough postage.
