GENERAL
RULES **Read these
rules carefully – they apply to all entries for the NMSF 4-H Indoor
Exhibits! 1. Items must be
entered in the appropriate age category: all ages are as of January 1 of the
current 4-H year. a. Novice – 8 years old and in
the third grade or 9-11 b. Junior – 12-13 years old c. Senior – 14-19 years old * Cloverbuds – according to NM 4-H
Policy, Cloverbuds are not eligible for competition
and therefore can not be qualified at the county level. No Cloverbud
entries are taken at the State Fair. 2. 4-H'ers must be enrolled
in the appropriate project to compete in that class. 3. Judging will be based on the
standards listed including any size guidelines in the 4-H project book. Judges
determine the merit of each exhibit. If multiple qualified items are in a
class, they will be placed 1st-3rd,
however, a judge may determine that no item meets the standard for 1st and choose not to award one. No
more than one of each placing may be awarded in each class. If an item is the
only entry in a class, judges will judge the item against the standard and may
choose to award a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd placing or no placing at
all. 4. Tape or sew a label giving
the exhibitor's name, county, and year of project on each article. This is in
addition to the fair exhibitor label which must be placed on the front of the
item and attached securely. 5. All exhibits must be the work of
the exhibitor and completed during the current 4-H year. 6. All Self-Determined
entries must be accompanied by a completed Self-Determined Project Record Form
100.SD-1 (R-03). Self Determined items that do not have a sheet will be
disqualified – be sure the sheet is securely attached. 7. Exhibit Sizing Guidelines: a. Posters Posters may be no larger than 14 x 22 inches (this is half
of a standard sheet of poster board). Posters are defined as any flat
paper, foam board, cardboard, or other backing appropriate for hanging on the
wall for display. Flat items placed on placed stands or with stands attached
will be considered posters and the stands will not be utilized for display. b. Display
Boards Display Boards may be no
larger than 18 x 48 inches (this is a small size display board, or half of
a standard display board.) Display boards are defined as scored, freestanding
science boards that may be purchased at any school supply store. These are
boards made freestanding by the sides being folded in slightly. c. Other Exhibit Boards Exhibit bases for three dimensional vertical displays may be no
larger than 24 x 24 inches. A vertical display is defined as an exhibit
with a solid base were the exhibit itself rises up. This would apply to small
engines, Self-Determined, or any other appropriate 3-D Display. d. Project Specific Boards Some project boards are given specific measurements within the
project. For example, Leathercraft and braiding have
guidelines in the project book. If an exhibit is defined by the project book
that is the rule members must follow. e. Oversized
Exhibits Because of security and space
limitations, extremely large/heavy project exhibits may not be accepted for
display in the 4-H Department; call (505) 758-3982 for prior approval on large
Woods, Welding or other large exhibits. This only applies to actual items
– posters, display boards, and vertical displays may not be over-sized. ANIMAL SCIENCE *No Live Animals are accepted in this exhibit. ANIMALS 1 Exhibit
