Judging:

Judging is merit-based and will be conducted according to the following criteria:
            Technique: Focus, lighting, exposure, depth of field
            Composition: Focal point, balance, framing
            Impact: Creativity, interest, mood/humor, appropriateness for class, the “WOW” factor.

At judges’ discretion, no placing will be awarded if exhibits do not merit placing. At Superintendent’s and Judge’s discretion classes with few entries may be combined with others, and classes with an overly large number of entries may be sub-divided.

Due care will be exercised in handling each exhibit, but the Ag society will not be responsible for articles lost, damaged or stolen.
