Rules & Regulations

  1.  The competition is open to all school pupils, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, who have taken classes during the school year 2023 - 2024. Each pupil will be considered in the grade they are in as of June 1, 2024. 

  2. No pupil will submit more than one article per section number. 

  3. It is the responsibility of the teacher to see that all artwork is the original work done by one pupil, except in the Team Work Sections (must be two or more pupils). 

  4. Articles must be the work and property of the exhibitor. Articles exhibited in previous years will not be eligible. 

  5. Due to limited space, we request your school enter only 5 entries per “Section Number” per grade, and a total of 3 group entries for Team Work Sections.

Names including the initial of or full last name are required for the total point tally for personal and school recognition. NOTE: All tags are open for public display at Fair time. 

  8. If a class is a split grade, only write on the tag the grade the student is in. If the tag is submitted with more than one grade, the artwork is judged in the higher grade. For example JK/SK on the tag, the artwork will be judged in the SK group.
