First Round Judging (Adult Divisions Only)
HOW IS MY ENTRY JUDGED?
Fiber Arts 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 10 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.

OC Fair and State Guidelines

•
•
For judging purposes, the OC Fair reserves the right to combine classes or divisions to create an
adequate judging pool where numbers are insufficient to ensure adequate competition.
Qualified judge(s) will be selected by the Program Coordinator to judge all exhibits.
Judges have the authority to disqualify or transfer to the correct class any exhibit that does not meet
the requirement of the division or class in which it is entered.
Adult Divisions are placed using the American Judging System (ranking exhibits one against another).
1st, 2nd, 3rd Place and Honorable Mention may be awarded in each class if judges so determine.
Young Adults and Junior Divisions are 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, for cash awards.
The decision of the jurors is final.
If an entry is disqualified after judging is completed, the judge will not change the status of awards
given for other entries.
Judging is NOT open to the public (except Special Contests).
Judging results can be viewed online around the third week of the OC Fair at ocfair.com/results.
Please do not call or email for competition results. Award information will not be given by telephone.
All OC Fair and State Guidelines apply to all divisions.
State Rules are online at ocfair.com/competitions
