2 China, Ceramics, and Antiques Competition Guide Rules and Regulations CREATIVE ARTS DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS The Oklahoma State Fair reserves the right to reject any exhibit offered if it is objectionable in any way, if it requires an excessive amount of space, or if the capacity of the department has been reached. Any contest may be cancelled for lack of entries. Your items will be handled with care; however, Oklahoma State Fair, Inc. is not responsible for items that are damaged while on display during the Fair. Any article entered for exhibition must have been created within the last year by the person in whose name it is entered. Antiques & Photography entries are an exception to this rule. These entries must be created by the person entering but are not subject to time guidelines. EXHIBITOR AND EXHIBIT INFORMATION Who may enter? Only Oklahoma residents. (Wine entries are an exception to this rule.) How many exhibits can be entered? Exhibitors may make only one entry in each class unless otherwise stated. Exhibitors may enter as many classes as they wish. What is the cost to enter? Creative Arts contests are free to enter unless the entry is late. What if I am not sure in which class to enter my exhibit? Should an exhibit be entered in the wrong class, the superintendent may make the proper correction for the exhibit at check-in. Judges may also suggest changes for proper classification. NOTE: Entries in a different category MAY NOT BE SUBSTITUTED without a late fee. (Example - Entered a jelly but brought a painting to check-in) Can I mail in my exhibit? No. Do I need to register for live contests? Yes. How do I get into the Fair if I am entered in a live contest? Free parking and gate entry are available to exhibitors who are entered in pre-registered live contests. Exhibitors must follow the current year arrival instructions, which are mailed or ed to contestants participating in the applicable live contests. If you do not receive your entry instructions, but sure to check with us. Only the exhibitor will receive free entry. Exhibits must be the work of the exhibitor except in the classes for Antiques and Collections. Antiques and Collections must be the bona fide property of exhibitor. Exhibits that have been entered at a previous Oklahoma State Fair are not eligible for re-entry, except as noted. Exhibits need to have been completed after September 1, 2017, except as noted. Each exhibit will be evaluated by qualified individuals, and the decision of the judge(s) is final. All cash prizes will be paid from the awards as marked by the judges and not from ribbons that may be attached to the exhibits. Judges are instructed not to award cash prizes or ribbons unless the exhibit is deemed worthy of the placing awarded. Premium payouts for the Creative Arts Department will be mailed to exhibitor after the close of the Fair. Within 90 days from the last day of the, it is the responsibility of the Payee to file, in writing, a claim for lost or incorrect awards. If it is ascertained that an exhibitor has made any false statement in regard to any article or exhibit, or, if any exhibitor attempts to harass or interfere with the judge or judges in the performance of their duties, the exhibitor shall be excluded from competition and forfeit all premiums. Any protest must be made in writing and accompanied by a deposit of $50, which will be forfeited if protest is not sustained. Said protest must state plainly the cause of complaint or appeal and must be filed with the Manager by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday of the closing week of the Fair. Judges will be encouraged to view exhibits after items have been placed on display with names. If they believe that an exhibitor is not in the correct skill level, that judge will be encouraged to protest the placement. Every effort will be made to display entries in an attractive arrangement; however, items entered for competition will be displayed only through 3rd place. Other entries will be displayed only as space is available and at the discretion of the superintendents. When appropriate, we will display all items from one division together, but this is not guaranteed. Page 2
