You may have an entry box/container in your space for giveaways and drawings. A second entry box/container and entry forms must be placed on an alternate entry table located at the main attendee entrance to the event prior to the start.

It is your responsibility to remove the additional entry box from the lobby upon close of the show on Sunday.

Entry boxes must clearly state the rules of your giveaway.
