Art and Crafts
Senior Youth (ages 14-18)
Chairperson: Lauren Hindman
Guidelines
- Exhibits for senior youth ages 14-18 (exhibitor’s age must be indicated on entry tag)
- Exhibits will be judged on: general appearance, workmanship and techniques, harmony or contrast of color selection, appropriateness of selected materials.
- Any item made from a kit must be identified as such.
- Any item made by a person with a disability that they wish to disclose, can enter 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.
- Even though exhibits are mostly judged on their own merits, enhancements of an exhibit achieved through special mountings, framing or display may be considered.
- 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.
