Fair Day Tips and Information
You do not need to check in your projects. An information table is set up to help parents, teachers and students find their spot if needed. Once you arrive at the U.C., you can go directly to your spot and set up your project. Announcements will be made to clear the floor in preparation for judging to begin.
Parents and teachers will not be allowed in the project area during judging. Announcements will be made throughout the day concerning the schedule. No communication between students and parents or teachers will be allowed during the actual judging. This will be strictly enforced. Parents and teachers are invited to take advantage of the Hospitality Room in the University Center 203B Upper Level at this time. Free coffee and doughnuts will be available in the morning. Public viewing of projects after 2:00 or when announced.
Students must remain with their projects throughout the judging periods from 8:30 to 11:30 and from 12:30 to 2:00. The Judges will view all projects at least once between 8:30 and 11:30. It may be necessary for the Judges to view some projects more than once when determining winners. If you have not been judged at all by 11:30, notify someone at the Information Table immediately. After lunch, I will announce when you can return to your project. 1st Place Winners must be present in order to be judged for the Grand Prize Competition; those not present will not be judged.
Cameras and video cameras will not be allowed in the judging area during the judging period from 8:30 to 11:30 and from 12:30 to 2:00. This will be strictly enforced.
The Judges' Room is off limits to everyone except the Judges and other Fair personnel. Inquiries should be directed to the Information Table.
