4. Size of exhibits is to be determined by each individual fair. Judging of exhibits may be done according to any plan devised by the fair, provided it calls for a graduated scale of awards. A scoring system that may be useful follows:
ATTRACTS ATTENTION 20 points
Use of color, motion, light, figures. While attention getting is important, the reaction should be favorable. Unfavorable attention defeats its purpose.
AROUSES INTEREST 10 points
Encourages additional study. Personal appeal to the type of viewer for whom the exhibit was designed.
CONVEYS MESSAGE 30 points
The message should be understandable to the viewer for whom the exhibit was intended.
DESIGN 20 points
Elements of the exhibit should be placed to give a sense of unity to the whole. The message should be a part of the design and not something apparently added as an afterthought. Simplicity is the key here.
WORKMANSHIP 10 points
Neat, well constructed for the purpose. This does not imply that expensive materials be used.
ORIGINALITY 10 points
