In competition, the details are all important. All judges are chosen for their high qualifications in their particular field. They are asked not to judge on individual likes or dislikes, but have standard rules and regulations to judge by. If your entries do not receive an award, it does not mean they are not edible, or in the case of hand work, that they are improperly made. 2. Judges are instructed not to award ribbons unless exhibits are deemed worthy of merit. 3. ALL FOODS, with exception of canned meats, vegetables and soups, will be tasted during judging. 4. Items are judged before the final display. Items may be moved after judging to other areas for security or safety reasons.
