2021 North Iowa Fair Exhibitor’s Handbook August 5- 8, 2021

GENERAL COMPETITIVE EXHIBITOR INFORMATION (Applies to ALL EXHIBITORS)

JUDGES AND JUDGING Every judge is requested to read General Rules and all special rules of the department in which he/she is to serve, and to note especially those rules bearing on classes to be evaluated by her/him. No judge shall award a premium to any unworthy exhibit. It is the intention of management that no distinction of any kind be given any animal or article considered undeserving. Whether there be competition or not, this rule must be strictly adhered to. Each judge and any person acting as clerk to judge must use special care, after award has been made, to see that such award is properly recorded, as required, on forms provided. It is upon this entry that all premiums will be paid. A judge shall always place a reserve award in each class: should any animal or article awarded premium be disqualified, the animal or article awarded the next lower premium shall graduate to next higher position, if in the opinion of judge it is worthy. No person who is an exhibitor may act as judge in any class in which he is showing. If regularity of any entry is to be questioned, or right of any animal or article to compete in any class, judge or judges shall report same to superintendent of department for proper adjustment. The decision of every judge shall be final in all cases, except where error, fraud, misrepresentation, or collusion, discovered at time of award is obvious. In such case, Manager may render a decision. Where fewer exhibits are shown in any class than number of premiums offered in that class, judges will in every case award only a premium of such grade as the exhibit may deserve, at their discretion.

SUPERINTENDENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES It shall be the duty and responsibility of Department Superintendents, in cooperation with Fair Management, to make and enforce rules and interpretations as may be needed to insure proper functioning of departments. This shall cover eligibility and handling of entries, and all matters of procedures and conduct on part of exhibitors, in their relationship with Fair, other exhibitors, and judging officials. Decisions shall be made that will carry out policy of Fair, to serve all interests in a dignified and beneficial manner with fairness to all.
