REGISTRATION for Contestants & Attendees
 Before you register, please read the note below.
 
Eventbrite - NED Fall Contest/Convention 2012
 
or
 
 
A few special notes about registration:
 
"Registration" for a contest/convention is a 2-part process for each quartet and chorus.
 
First, the quartet or chorus must register as a GROUP to compete on-stage at a contest. That process is completed by a single person going to the BHS web site at http://ebiz.barbershop.org and completing the official CJ-20 form online. There is no cost for this. Usually a single quartet or chorus member is the designate for this registration process.
 
Then, the second part is the registration of EACH MEMBER of your quartet or chorus. This can happen two ways: (1) each competitor selects the REGISTER NOW button above and completes the registration, for himself and/or other chorus/quartet members, or the entire competing group --- and pay ONLINE as outlined below by (a), (b) or (c),  ; or (2) a single designated person may register the chorus/quartet for the contest online by entering each contestant --- and pay for all online by (a), (b), or (c). 
 
Remember that every member must have a registration and will be required to show their badge before appearing on stage.
 
Payment methods:
  a. Credit Card     b. Bank Account      c. PayPal Account
 
Thank you!
