Welcome back to Denver! To elevate the exhibitor experience and hospitality, we continue to use an online entry system. The premium book pages are all available online for ease of printing and to be mobile-friendly.  To enter the 2026 National Western Jr Market Swine Show, you must first enter the swine draw and subsequently be drawn into the random drawing to be eligible.

The Swine Draw is open from June 1, 2025, to July 1, 2025. All information, instructions and entry link can be found below.  The random Draw will be completed and posted the week of July 7th. All participants will be notified the status of the draw, whether drawn in or not. If drawn in, exhibitors must order DNA Kits and complete the NWSS Jr Market Swine entry process, detailed in the Premium Book Pages below.
