Rules:
  1. Read the premium material for Department 20 very carefully.

  3. The entry fee is $5.00 per exhibit.  Entries are due August 8th.  The correct fee must accompany the entry form.

  7. The scoring system will be as follows:
  • Attracts Attention:  20 points
          Use of color, motion, light, figures.  While attention getting is important, the reaction should be favorable and not defeat its purpose.
  • Arouses Interest:  10 points
          Encourages additional study.  Personal appeal to the type of viewer for whom the exhibit was designed.
  • Conveys Message:  30 points
          The message should be understandable to the viewer for whom the exhibit was designed.
  • Design:  20 points
          Elements of the exhibit should be placed to give a sense of unity to the whole.  The message should be part of the design and not something apparently                   added as an afterthought.  Simplicity is the key.
  • Workmanship:  10 points
          Neat and well-constructed for the purpose.  This does not imply the use of expensive materials.
