Print and mail your Entry Form.
Although we are not officially a member of the International Science Fair Organization, we generally follow their rules about project size and use of animals. We do not allow any animals or cultures to be a part of the project display.
There are nine (9) categories for the entries. It is very important that students select the appropriate category for their projects. The projects must be in one of the following areas:
| 1. Energy | 6. Earth & Space Science |
| 2. Engineering | 7. Physics, Math, & Computers |
| 3. Botany | 8. Medicine, Health, & Microbiology |
| 4. Zoology | 9. Behavioral & Social Sciences |
| 5. Chemistry & Biochemistry |
Students are reminded that Science and Engineering Fair projects should include laboratory, field, or theoretical research.
Projects may be individual or team. For the Engineering category, team projects are encouraged, while for the other categories individual projects are encouraged. The judges are looking for creative ability, scientific thought/engineering goals, thoroughness, skill, and clarity. For more information on judging criteria, please follow the link listed above.
There are two divisions: Junior Division (grades 6-9) and Senior Division (grades 10-12). As in the past, we may offer cash awards to the winners in each category in both Junior and Senior Division. Whether or not an award is given for a particular category is at the discretion of the judges. At this time, the amount of any cash awards has not been established.
Additional information about our fair may be obtained from our office. If you have any questions, please contact us at (304) 367-4246 or mpoland2@fairmontstate.edu.
