The International Finals Youth Rodeo will open registration online at IFYR.com beginning April 1. Offering more than $250,000 in prize money for contestants to pursue, the 25th annual IFYR will be held July 9-14 at the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma.
 
Registration can be completed online only at IFYR.com starting April 1 and will close once all event spaces are filled. Entry fees are $150 per event. To meet IFYR age requirements, participants must have completed 9th grade and cannot have turned 19 on or before Aug. 1, 2016.
 
“This year we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of the IFYR, a significant milestone we couldn’t be more proud of,” said Chris Dunlap, assistant director of the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center and International Finals Youth Rodeo. “The IFYR is renowned for bringing the best young athletes in the world to Shawnee and we are excited to see what this years’ competition has in store.” 
 
The IFYR consists of two long go-rounds and a short go. All contestants compete once in each of the long go-rounds. The top 15 averages in each event will compete for half of the prize purse in the short go. Events include barrel racing, pole bending, breakaway roping, goat tying, team roping, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, saddle bronc riding and bareback riding. Events run simultaneously in three arenas throughout the week.
