Come help me celebrate the 24th Anniversary of IMEHA with a mail in photo show for model horses, dogs, cats and other animals. I'm hoping this show will draw the largest model turnout in the history of model animal mail in competition. The largest show so far was in 1986 with 13,378 photos, 2nd largest was 1996 with 9932 photos. Last year's 7329 photos was the 3rd largest to date. Would you be so kind as to enter this show and help us break the record?
This show has many divisions for sizes and finishes.
Prizes for this celebration show are postage stamps, models, tack, donated paint jobs from artists and other items to give away. Plans are to give awards of resin animals, dogs, horses and wildlife awards will be offered. Sponsorship items are often donated and given. Also for this year's show we have special bronze plated medals with the IMEHA Logo. Best part for the show is there is no entry fee!
If you would like to celebrate with IMEHA and thank the club for holding all the online & mail in shows it does for free then please consider sponsoring and mail a donation in for this club. In return your name will be placed on the Show's Online Results Page. Also since IMEHA is a licensed non profit club any money donated to the show after expenses is given away to licensed charity. Last year's charity was the ASPCA and we wrote a check to them for $165.00. thanks to all of those who donated cash or check sponsorships.

outside of the baggie.

Photos separated into baggies

Postage! It is strongly suggested that you use manilla or Priority mailers. It is best not to affix the stamp to you mailers as you may win a prize that needs to packed in a larger box or packet. Suggested postage is two priority stamps or Twenty 1st Class Stamps. That way your postage can be affixed to that mailer instead. Additional postage will be picked up by IMEHA.
