Intermediate Youth (ages 9-13)

Chairperson: Lauren Hindman

Guidelines

  1. Exhibits for youth, ages 9 through 13 (exhibitor’s age must be indicated on entry tag).
  2. Exhibits will be judged on amount of work involved and degree of skill.
  3. Any item made from a kit must be identified as such.
  4. Any item made by a person with a disability that they wish to disclose can be entered in the appropriate category for the item. A star will be placed on the front of the item tag to let judges know to take this into consideration when judging.
  5. Even though exhibits are mostly judged on their own merits, enhancements of an exhibit achieved through special mountings, framing, or display may be considered.
  6. Exhibits must be made by the exhibitor with very little or no help from adults.
  7. In this age division, there will be one “Best in Show” ribbon plus $5.00 awarded, and one “Runner-up Best in Show” ribbon plus $3.00 awarded.
