Hello and Welcome To BYC! X2 on the Breeds forum and Sebright threads, there are also a couple of basic threads on grooming & showing birds etc https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/44232/showing-chickens

Have you compared your bird to the Sebright standard of perfection, to see if yours has any disqualifications? I don't know if this is a minor show or not but, other people entering have probably put time and effort into getting their entries in best condition. This makes an impression on judges as well.

Is your bird accustomed to a cage like they use at shows? Will he freak is a stranger picks him up to examine him?

Welcome to BYC - cage training prior to the show is essential.
