Small Displays are not more than 30 shakers, Medium Displays are from 31 to 75 shakers, and Large Displays are more than 76 shakers. All Junior Displays are not more than 30 shakers.
A new display contest was introduced this year - Shoe Box Size Display. The rules state they must fit inside a shoe box that is no larger than 7.5"x13"x5". Shakers or any part of the display cannot extend out of or above the box. It proved to be very popular as 13 members entered this contest with some very imaginative entries.
