THE RUTH CRONK 2024 COMPETITION

​

The 2024 National Barbie® Doll Collectors Convention will set the stage for a showcase of personal treasures and creative talents in a Competition represented by Conventioneers from every corner of the globe. Wow the audience with rarities from your Vintage and Mod doll collections. Showcase your creative talents in doll artistry and dioramas. The Competition Room will showcase and display the largest collection of Conventioneer treasures! We look forward to seeing the 2024 collection of Competition entries and encourage you to participate!

​

Register early! We have made accommodations specifically for Competition entrants to register early, so check the schedule! Then bring your entries to Convention and check the Schedule again to determine where and when Competition setup will be. Once entries are placed and judged, Convention attendees will be admitted to the Competition Room to view the entries and take pictures. At the end of Competition, you will return to the Competition Room to collect your entries. 

​

Each Competition entrant will receive a specially designed identification that will be made specifically for Competition. (Limit one per Registration).

​

There will be security guards on duty from the time your entries are placed in the Competition Room and throughout the duration of the Competition, so you need not worry about their safety. During Competition viewing, no purses or tote bags are permitted inside the Competition Room. If you bring these items with you, please note that you will be asked to leave these items with a friend outside or return them to your Hotel room before being allowed to enter the Competition Room. 

​

Judges will review each entry in Categories I and II and you will compete for individual category ribbons. In addition, we will award both Vintage and Creative entries with People’s, Chairman’s and our new Ruth Cronk Competition Sponsor’s Choice awards.
