8. Exhibit Size Guidelines:
Posters may be no larger than 14”x22" (½ sheet) Posters
are defined as any flat paper, foam board, cardboard, or
other backing appropriate for hanging on the wall for
display. Flat items placed on place stands or with stands
attached will be considered posters and the stands will
not be utilized for display.
Display Boards may be no larger than 18x48" (this is a
small size display board, or half of a standard display
board.) Display boards are defined as scored, freestanding
science boards that may be purchased at any school
supply store. These are boards made freestanding by the
sides being folded in slightly.
Other Exhibit Boards are three dimensional vertical
displays and may be no larger than 24”x24". A vertical
display is defined as an exhibit with a solid base where the
exhibit itself rises up. This would apply to small engines,
Self-Determined, or any other appropriate 3-D Display.
Project Specific Boards are given specific measurements
within the project. For example, Leathercraft and braiding
have guidelines in the project book. If an exhibit is defined
by the project book, that is the rule members must follow.
Oversized Exhibits may not be displayed. Large Wood and
Welding exhibits are the exception.
Photography Exhibits See specific sizing guidelines under
the Photography section. Photos may be mounted or
matted with material strong enough to withstand transport
and display (cardboard, mat board, poster board, etc.). We
are not responsible for lost or damaged photos - please
keep a copy of all prints submitted.
