Project Judging:

In Laramie County we have introduced a Static Judging Rubric system for the Laramie County Fair.  These rubrics are going to be some of the things that judges will be looking at and awarding ribbons on at County Fair.  Some projects will have 2 rubrics one for physical items and one for display items. Display rubrics are for things like posters, and binders; Physical items are for things like benches, clothing, etc.. Click the links below if you would like to take a look! (note- 2 of the same rubric will appear on each page due to formatting)

Entomology, Geology, Range Management, Nature & Ecology all use the same rubric for judging. There is 2 different ones- one for displays and one for physical items.
