Judging Information

The 2025 fair will use a new judging system. Make sure you review the appropriate judging form for your grade and project type:

• Elementary projects (grades K-4): experiment judging form | research/study judging form

• Secondary projects (grades 5+): experiment judging form | research/study judging form

Info for Participants

• Parents need to realize that any disruptive and inappropriate behaviour on the part of their child/ren could result in disqualification.

• Each project MUST have a log book.  It is a dated diary of the steps that were followed to do the project.  It is not a neat document.

• Parents will be asked to leave the exhibit area during the judging process (9:00 AM to noon).  They need to remain outside the judging area until all judging has been completed. Committee members will be available to take things to your child.

• During the public viewing, the students are required to remain at their project.

• The participants need to have indoor shoes for the day.

• We strongly recommend that the student use photos and videos to record their experiments.  They will NOT be allowed to do their project for the judges at the fair.  Plants, soil, things with uncovered moving parts, liquids, food (including eggs), chemicals, animals, water, sand, oil, vinegar will NOT be allowed.
