Thinking about entering a grooming competition for the first time?

Rocky Mountain Groom Expo was built for groomers who want to learn, grow, and build confidence.

This year, Best First Timer of Show comes with a $150 cash prize, plus prizes from our sponsors.

You don’t have to be a seasoned competitor to step into the ring. Every expert started somewhere.
We still have room in multiple contest divisions, especially Division A.

Take the leap. We can’t wait to cheer you on. This competition is sponsored by the amazing !!

The competition ring at RMGX is always something to see.

Precision grooms. Creative styles. Groomers pushing themselves to try something new - many of them for the very first time.

RMGX is designed to be a strong, supportive foundation before stepping into higher-pressure competition. The ring here is a place to grow, take a shot, and see what you’re capable of. Whether you’re stepping in or cheering from the sidelines, the energy in that room is unforgettable. Who’s competing this year?

Come ready to learn.
Come ready to compete.
Come ready to discover your next favorite product, tool, or business partner.

One of the best parts of expo weekend? The people.

You meet groomers who share techniques, cheer each other on in the competition ring, and swap stories about the dogs that kept them busy all week. It’s the kind of community that helps you grow - the kind that makes you feel like you belong in this industry.

RMGX brings us all together every summer, and we can’t wait to see everyone again.

Who are you hoping to run into this year?

Eighteen days from now, online registration closes.
Maybe you've been telling yourself:
"I'm not ready to compete."
"I'm not experienced enough."
"Maybe next year."
But every successful groomer was once a first-timer.
Every award winner was once the person sitting in a seminar taking notes.
Every respected industry leader started exactly where you are today.
Keep going.
Keep learning.
Keep investing in yourself.
Your time is coming.
Rocky Mountain Groom Expo might just be the next step in your journey.
