All items entered, remain on exhibit until closing time on Sunday afternoon. Claim tickets will be given when the item is entered and must be presented during pick up time to claim your item and award. No early release of items.
The American judging system is used. This judging system ranks exhibits one against another and awards one first place, one second place, and one third place. The judges may withhold awards in any lot if, in their opinion, no exhibit is worthy.
Every item in competition must correspond in number and description with the award list and be entered in the proper class. No changes or alterations shall be permitted after entry time is closed.
Items not in the premium list may be exhibited at the discretion of the Superintendent, but will not be considered for Placings. The Home Arts Department welcomes such exhibits; if the items create interest, we may add it as a new category to next years judged exhibits.
All items are entered and show at the risk of the owners. While all reasonable care will be taken in the handling and protection of exhibits, the officials will in no case be responsible for any damage or loss.
