How to Enter an A & S Competition
Dropping Off and Picking Up Your Entry
Our standard drop-off deadline is 1 PM on the Saturday of the event (unless otherwise posted). The drop-off location is the Arts & Sciences pavilion. The pavilion is usually located on the eric (which is the oval field in the center of the event), and is usually flying an A&S banner (showing the harp or the calipers), so it's easy to locate. All pieces submitted by the drop off deadline will be judged.
To enter the competition, just sign up for each entry on the appropriate sign-in sheet. Your piece will be assigned a number-any work that isn't numbered is considered to be a display piece only and will not be judged. All items may be picked up after 5:00PM. Judging sheets may be picked up after the results have been announced in court. If the piece is not picked up by the end of the event (when the A&S pavilion is taken down), it will be turned over to Lost and Found.
Performance Art Entries
For performance pieces, entrants must sign up in the A&S pavilion by 1 PM on the Saturday of the event. The competition time will be posted on the board in the front of the pavilion. Show up on time for your performance, ready to go.
Canceled Competitions
If there are three or more entrants in a competition, the winner is the entry with the highest score. If there are less than three entries, the winner is the entry with the highest score over 66% of the available points (which is currently the highest score over 35). If there is only one entry, the entry will be judged, but there will be no competition - but the points will count towards the Golden Poppy.
About the Judges and Judging Sheets
We make every effort to find judges who are knowledgeable about the particular topic of the competition, but we are limited to those individuals present at the event and available at the time of the competition.
Judges are asked to sign their names on the judging sheets, and all judging sheets are returned to the entrants. We consider judging forms to be private, so they will be returned directly to the entrant, and are not available for perusal by other entrants or by the populace. If the entrant does not pick them up, they can be retrieved from the appropriate A&S Officer at a subsequent event.
The A&S Token

The winners of each competition are recognized in Court at the event, and are rewarded with the A&S token. They are also recognized in the Page in the A&S column. The token bears the symbol as shown here on the A&S badge.
