In any adjudicated event, it is important that all participants be treated
fairly and impartially. Since awards are given by grade to the schools
which enter the best overall science projects, it seems prudent to ensure
that all schools, regardless of composition or enrollment, have the
opportunity for recognition. The guidelines attempt to take into account
the reasonable expectation that a school with greater enrollment should be
able to send more student representatives to the regional science and
engineering fair than a school with a smaller enrollment. The guidelines
also guarantee that smaller schools will be able to compete fairly for the
school sweepstakes awards.
GUIDELINES:
The number of student participants per grade per school shall not exceed the
following maxima:
GRADE ENROLLMENT
MAXIMUM PARTICIPANTS
0 - 100
5
101 - 300
7
301 - 500
9
500+
11
There are no distribution conditions. All entrants may be entered in the
physical science section or the biological science section. It is suggested
that a more or less equal distribution between the sections is more
desirable.
