JUDGE INFO
RULES FOR CHILDREN’S ARTWORK AT COUNTY
FAIR:
Exhibiting artwork at the Grant County Fair is an
exciting activity for children. Parents, please help your
children present their art in the proper format to be
considered.
1. Pictures must be matted with a purchased mat or
piece of heavy construction paper cut 2 inches larger
on all sides.
2. The art work is to be firmly placed behind the mat
with strong tape.
3. Another piece of cardboard cut the same size as mat
have two holes where string or wire can be placed and
firmly secured to the board. The board is then glued
to the back of the mat (string can be knotted on each
end to hold securely).
4. After completing the steps above, you will have 3
layers - mat, art work and cardboard back. (Art will
be hung with T pins through the mat if there is not a
permanent wire or hanger on the back)
5. Dimensional art work (standing out from the
surface) must be mounted on a white Bristol board
in a permanent manner. This type of work my not be
suitable for matting.
6. Please allow at least a week before the fair to
prepare the artwork. The people accepting the art
work at the fair do not have the materials available to
get it ready. Remember, you are protecting your child’s
work from being knocked down or disqualified by
preparing it properly. It must be matted and prepared
to be hung to be accepted.
Although the utmost care will be taken in handling
artwork, the Grant County Fair will not be responsible
for loss or damage from whatever cause.
For each entry select the appropriate class and lot.
Only Adult & Professional (Div 2 & 7) must be framed
All others properly matted are accepted.
