The Intergroom trade show provides a forum for exchanging information and for networking with other professionals who share your interest in grooming, breeding and exhibiting. Pre-registration begins February each year. At the conference held in the United States each year, Intergroom always begins with an international grooming competition that leads to the title of "Intergroom International Groomer of the Year" - one of the most prestigious awards in the the world of grooming. The quality of grooming is extremely high and the competition is keen as top groomers from the United States, Canada, England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, compete for over $20,000 in cash, trophies, rosettes and prizes in this competition, alone. Groomers can compete in six different classes: (1) Poodles, (2) Terriers, (3) Hand Stripping, (4) Spaniels and Other Sporting Dogs, (5) All Other Purebreds, and (6) Mixed-Breed/Miscellaneous (this includes dogs of mixed-breed parentage plus any purebreds that will be trimmed in styles other than "standard"). Competitors are judged by a panel of international experts. Each year, in addition to the well-known Americans, several judges from other countries are invited to be a part of the jury. The Rising Star Competition was first added to Intergroom in 2001. Met with grand applause, we enjoyed a wonderful entry in this contest designed specifically for the Novice and / or Intermediate Groomer. The wonderful and generous Class Sponsors from our Groomer of the Year competition, anxiously included this new competition with their sponsorship. With the special title of “Rising Star of the Year” we shall continue to offer this wonderful new competition. The rules are the same as those for the Groomer of the Year Competition.
