Take your koi home, grow it out over the year, and bring it back to Mystic Koi to be judged head-to-head when the breeders fly in from Japan. The best grow-out earns the recognition — and a round-trip ticket to Japan to visit the breeders and hand-pick your dream koi.
Whether you're chasing a show-quality champion or just want to be part of the fun, this is your opportunity to claim something special.
How it works:
• Each $500 reservation enters you in the raffle once — reserve as many koi as you'd like, and your name goes in once per koi.
• Everyone who participates is guaranteed a first-round pick. After round one, all remaining names go back into the draw.
• Selection order is determined by the raffle draw. In attendance? You'll have 5 minutes to choose when your name is drawn.
• Can't make it? Submit your ranked list of koi and we'll fill your first available choice — list more koi than you plan to take for the best odds.
• Fully refundable if you don't secure a koi you're happy with.
• Draw day: Saturday, July 11, 2026 at Mystic Koi. We start early — no waiting around.
