For most of you, you probably don't know that October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month; but ever since October 1987 (the movement began on the "Day Of Purity"; October 1981), is has also been the National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Now, this month and its meaning are very dear to me. I celebrated it years ago with a video tribute made to the second song linked above, but it was on my old YT account, and so, it has been lost. However, I always celebrate it every October. October is also my birth month, and is my favorite month of the year, because of autumn, Halloween, and the excitement of the season. But I want to celebrate the awareness of domestic violence, because I myself survived it. Domestic violence doesn't have to be someone related to you who abuses you; it can be your boyfriend or girlfriend who abuses you, it can be your mother's boyfriend or father's girlfriend who abuses you; it can basically be anyone you know intimately or as more than acquaintances who abuse you. That is known as domestic violence. Basically, ANY relationship in which one person abuses another (either verbally, sexually, mentally, or physically) is defined as domestic abuse.

The Judges:

(3 Total Judges)(2 Judges Per Class)

~Tie-Breaker Judge: SCRATCH~

1. SCRATCH
2. SCRATCH
3. SCRATCH

Judging:

-Followed Class Rules: 5 Points
-Creativity: 10 Points
-Visually Appealing: 5 Points
-Story: 5 Points
TOTAL POINTS YOU CAN GAIN PER JUDGE: 25 Points
TOTAL POINTS YOU CAN GAIN FROM ALL JUDGES: 50 Points (since there will only be 2 judges judging each class; if necessary, a tie-breaker judge will add an extra score to the images that are tied to break the tie)

Each judge will score your entry, and then they will add the points from the 2 scores together. The total score from both judges will be your FINAL SCORE! You will be placed based on you having the highest total points for your class to gain 1st Place, and it will go down in order from there. The Grand Champion is chosen from the entries that have participated in more than 2 classes, and the highest point count totaled for those entries gain them that title. Example: You enter a horse in 2 classes and your total score together for BOTH classes totals 38 Points for both classes (18/25 total in one class, and 20/25 total in another class) If your point culmination is the highest out of those who have entered 2+ classes, you gain the title Grand Champion. For Reserve Grand Champion, it is the same, but you only need to participate in one class to be eligible! HOWEVER, if someone say, enters TWO classes, the points for BOTH classes will be added together, as shown above for Grand Champion! (basically, a person who enters 2+ classes has a much better chance of winning Reserve Champion than someone who only enters 1 class) These places will be the hardest to obtain! 

THE SHOW ENDS NOVEMBER 20th, 2015; AND STARTS NOW!

Proclamation of the President of the United States -
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2014

"Domestic violence affects every American. It harms our communities, weakens the foundation of our Nation, and hurts those we love most.  It is an affront to our basic decency and humanity, and it must end. During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we acknowledge the progress made in reducing these shameful crimes, embrace the basic human right to be free from violence and abuse, and recognize that more work remains until every individual is able to live free from fear.

Last month, our Nation marked the 20th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). (...) Since VAWA's passage, domestic violence has dropped by almost two-thirds, but despite these strides, there is more to do. Nearly two out of three Americans 15 years of age or older know a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault, and domestic violence homicides claim the lives of three women every day. When women and children are deprived of a loving home, legal protections, or financial independence because they fear for their safety, our Nation is denied its full potential."

Read the full proclamation  by President Barack Obama, released on September 30, 2014.
