RULES
First Round Judging (Adult Divisions Only)
Hand Crafts & Hobbies Adult Divisions are now a juried competition. Not all entries are accepted. Entries will
be judged first from your uploaded images and viewed online to determine if the submitted entry meets the
basic requirements to participate in this competition and the subjective standards for exhibition set by the
judges. Jury selections are final and cannot be protested. You will be notified via email no later than 6 p.m.
on Friday, June 12 with the First Round Judging results. Please check your Spam/Junk folders before
contacting the Fair for the results. Exhibitors whose entries are judged to meet the show standards will
deliver their work on Entry Delivery Day. First Round Judging Acceptance does not guarantee acceptance
for exhibition. The delivered entry may still be judged out for not complying with the competition rules and
guidelines concerning size, weight, framing or quality.
Adult Divisions
Placed using the American Judging System where exhibits are ranked one against another. 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place and
Honorable Mention may be awarded in each class if judges so determine. More than one Honorable Mention per
class may be awarded. 1st Place winners will compete for Division Winner. Division Winners compete for Best of
Show. Additional awards may be added at the judges’ request, however no additional cash premiums will be
awarded.
Young Adults and Junior Divisions
Placed using the Danish Judging System where each entry is judged on how well it meets a standard rather than
how it compares to other entries. Entries are judged Blue (superior), Red (very good) or White (average) Award.
There may be more than one Blue, Red or White Award per class. All Blue Awards will compete, using the American
Judging System to determine a Division Winner who will receive a cash award. Division Winners will compete for
Best of Show when there are 2 or more divisions represented in the show.
