Judge(s):

Show Rules:
All articles must be original-not copied from any published source. Articles previously entered are not eligible. Only one exhibit may be entered for each class number. Due care will be exercised in handling each exhibit, but the Ag Society will not be responsible for articles lost, damaged or stolen. Fragile work and extremely large pieces should not be entered.

No entries will be released before specific time. If you are unable to pick up your exhibit at the release time, it is your responsibility to find someone to do so. Any items remaining after 1:00 pm will be disposed of immediately.

At superintendent’s and/or judge’s discretion, classes with few entries may be combined with others, and classes with an overly large number of entries may be subdivided. Judging is merit-based. At judge’s discretion, not all placings will be awarded if exhibits do not merit placing.

Judging Scale

            Composition- use of design elements and principles
            Workmanship- media choice and its technical skill
Originality- not copied, interesting
            Showmanship- framing, matting or mounting, and overall appearance.

Premium payouts must be picked up from show superintendent during release time.
