Exhibit List for Awards

The table below shows the status of all the entries we’ve received so far. The table is updated periodically leading up to Fair Day. You may choose to look over the exhibits entered so far to see how many could be matches for your criteria. Visit the Award Planning page for more information on how many judges your organization should plan on having on site based on your criteria and exhibits that meet that criteria. 

Remember, on Fair Day the judging starts at 9:30 AM and ends no later than 2:00 PM when you must return your Green Sheet to the Sponsored Awards desk. You need to decide how many exhibits you can visit and interview in that time, and pick accordingly. The Award Planning page has a paragraph about how many exhibits a judge can handle.

Exh.# /Div.

That’s “Exhibit number or Division”. The divisions are Junior Biological science (JB), Junior Physical (JP), Junior Teams (JT), Senior Biological (SB), and Senior Physical (SP). An exhibit number is just the division followed by a 2-digit serial number, like JT99. (Senior team exhibit numbers include a ‘T’, for example SB99T. Unlike the junior teams, they aren’t in a separate division.)

At first this column displays only the exhibit’s division. In the last week before the Fair, we assign exhibit numbers to the Accepted entries; by Wednesday or Thursday before the Fair, each exhibit will have its number. Each exhibit’s number is unique; it appears on the exhibit table and exhibit maps, on the score sheets (EISEF judging) and Green Sheets (sponsored award judging).

Status

Accepted: You can pick this exhibit to judge on Fair Day. Everything about the project is in order; we’ll be ready for the student at Student Check-in in Lindale Mall at 8:00 AM on March 15, 2025.

Pending: We received the student’s online registration; now we’re waiting to receive the project’s signed paperwork. Once we receive the paperwork, we’ll the change the status to Accepted.

Disqualified: The student broke the rules and won’t be permitted to check in or exhibit at the Fair. You shouldn’t pick this exhibit to judge.

Dropped: The student registered, then decided not to attend this year’s EISEF. You shouldn’t pick this exhibit to judge.

Student Name(s)

As you might expect, the name(s) of the student(s) who conducted the experiment and who you will interview.

Project Title and Description

These tell what the project is about, in the student’s own words. The title will appear on the exhibit, in the handouts you’ll receive on Fair Day, and elsewhere; it can be terse and uninformative. The description gives more detail; in the table, it appears below the title, in italics. Use both to help you pick projects you want to judge.

Adult Sponsor

The teacher or other adult who guided the student(s) in conducting the experiment and preparing the exhibit.

School and City

The student’s school and its location.
