What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
I thought it'd be interesting to find out what different people like to do with the rosettes and prize cards that they win at shows?

Re: What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
I'm looking forward to hearing what everyone else does. I know some people use their prize cards as cage labels or shopping lists, but I still have every prize card I've won. I keep them in a box, and the Certificates of Merit in a tin:

The first trophy I won at a hamster show also lives in the box:

My Champion and Grand Champion rosettes live in the hallway:

I must confess that I keep the nice rosettes, the special ones and one from each 'event'. I give the others back to the clubs for recycling after taking photos of the hams with them. I still have my first pet class rosette and my first rosettes for novice and breeder

Re: What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
Some impressive prizes there Vectis.
At the moment I've got the prize cards in a ringbinder with their profiles but I'm not sure that it'll work for the long term.
This is what I have our one rosette on...
This is Lady May's rosette that she got in the pet class at our first show. As it's the first rosette we won at a show and it ended up being the only show that Lady May ever entered, this rosette is pretty special.
I actually made the rosette holder myself (with a bit of help from my mum) as I left school without knowing how to sew and wanted to learn.

I'm impressed with your rosette holder making skills! The first rosette is very special - and I'm sure it will be joined by many more soon

It took a bit of working out as to how I was going to do it but I used some material that I already had to make it in case I really messed it up. Thankfully I only had to do one lot of unpicking.

Re: What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
I have a notice board (One of those brown cork ones that you stick pins in) for all my prize cards and then I pinned some purple fabric to the bottom to put my rosettes on.
It's full with my pet class stuff now so I'll need to get another one or find a nice way to store them since I'll be starting to show in main soon. Don't think I could ever get rid of any of the cards

Re: What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
I kinda wish I'd have made my rosette holder a little bit bigger because although I only have two rosettes, it's not all that wide so I'm not going to get that many more on it.
When it fills up, I'll have to get a new one.

Re: What do you do with your rosettes and prize cards?
Oh wow, you guys that's such an impressive collection of rosettes etc! I'm so impressed, I didn't realise you were so heavily into showing. I've got a question but perhaps I should put it in a new thread... What makes a prize-winning hamster? I think every single ham I've seen is gorgeous and cute but I'm not sure mine would win any prizes!
