2024 Pre-Fair Judging Information:
Scheduling & Format: Pre-fair judging will still be held July 15-19 (Mon - Foods and Clothing, Tues - Photography, Wed - Creative Arts and Creative Writing, Thurs - Special Interest, and Fri - Woodworking.)
Guidelines for Projects: A few other department-specific things to note:
- Foods: Members will bring an actual food sample, and also bring a photo story (photographs, album, scrapbook, collage, binder, portfolio, display board, any other type of visual display, etc.). Exhibitors will still bring a table setting display, recipe card, and balanced menu per the guidelines.
- Clothing: Exhibitors will wear their outfits themselves.
- Woodworking: Exhibitors will participate in the hands-on skillathon component of judging. The state fair will have hands-on skillathon.
- Creative Writing: Entries should be submitted to the OSU Extension office by Monday, July 7th at 4:30pm. At that time, you can sign up for a judging time OR you can call 937-498-7239 (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) to schedule your judging time. Judging will be held on Creative Arts day, Wednesday, July 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Not Seeing Your Name on the Schedule?: If you don't see your exhibitor's name on the schedules posted, please email me at gaerke.13@osu.edu so I can identify why they are not on the schedule and figure out which time group to assign them to. If you did not do a Fair Entry via shelbycounty.fairentry.com to indicate your intent to participate in pre-fair judging by June 1st, you have not been assigned a timeslot.
Scratches: We hate to see you go! But, if you do decide it is necessary to scratch a project, please submit all scratches by the second Friday in July so that we can make necessary changes to the judging schedules well in advance. Scratch form due by July 12th.
