OART, Ohio Academy Riders Tournament, is the primary organization for show season academy competitions. Academy competition participants who sign up with OART are eligible for year-end awards.

In addition, there are Winter Tournaments held in both northern and southern Ohio that may or may not be registered with OART. Kelli Dreher is coordinating winter tournaments for the northern part of the state.
