The BSHA is pleased to share with you the rules for the LIHS Rising Star Series 2024.
We hope these offer some clarity on the queries regarding eligibility which have arisen from the 2023 series, and we urge all competitors planning to enter in 2024, to thoroughly read them and to contact the BSHA office if there are any outstanding questions relating to Rising Star rules for 2024.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any unintentional lack of clarity and any unclear communications regarding the 2023 series, the first year of any new initiative was never going to be without its teething problems and unanticipated issues. We hope these new 2024 rules address this and reflect lessons learned in year one of what was a very successful and well-supported new showing competition.
Finally, a big thank you to all who took part in the 2023 series. The BSHA remains committed to providing a new and exciting competition for Amateurs in showing and will always respond to polite enquiry from members and visitors to the website.
We look forward to supporting you throughout the year and to meeting you at qualifiers and at the Final in London.
