& Exposition Center (OSFEC) reserves the final and absolute right to interpret any and all terms, conditions, rules and regulations contained in any and all parts of this Exhibitor Handbook, and to settle and determine all matters, questions or differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of, connected with or incidental to the Oregon State Fair. OSFEC further reserves the right to determine unforeseen matters not covered by the General or Department Rules published in this Exhibitor Handbook, and to withdraw all premium offerings in all departments should any emergency exist and circumstances demand. In case of discrepancies between General and Department Rules, Department Rules will supersede General Rules. 1. Entries need not have been entered or won at a County Fair in order to be eligible for competition at the Oregon State Fair. 2. Employees and their spouses are not eligible to enter the department in which they or their spouses are employed, unless otherwise stated in Department Rules. 3. Entries must be made on official OSFEC entry forms and will be accepted from 8 am – 5 pm on weekdays. Entry deadlines are listed in Department Rules or on the Calendar of Events. 4. Entry forms must state exhibitor’s name, address, telephone, date, class and section numbers, and must have exhibitor’s handwritten signature accompanied by a completed W9 form. Wrong numbers may cause entry to be disqualified. 5. Presentation of entry forms denotes acceptance by exhibitor of all OSFEC rules. 6. OSFEC reserves the right to limit entries to facilities available, and to limit the number of entries per exhibitor. 7. OSFEC reserves the right to return entries and cancel any class, section or lot in which, in its judgment, the entries are insufficient to provide adequate competition. 8. Entries must be in place and may be removed only during the scheduled times; any exception to this rule shall be at the discretion of OSFEC. 9. OSFEC reserves the right to reassign exhibits to alternative categories or departments. Exhibits may be subject to reasonable regulation of the time, place, and manner of display. 10. Each exhibitor shall be expected to show his/her animal or exhibit in accordance with the time schedule for judging printed in this Exhibitor Handbook and may be disqualified for failure to make proper arrangements in this respect. 11. Exhibitors shall indemnify OSFEC from and against all claims for damage to persons or property caused by them or by their exhibits. 12. OSFEC will take reasonable precautions to ensure safety of exhibits while on OSFEC’s grounds, but will in no way be responsible for loss, damage, theft or injury of any kind to exhibits or exhibitors. 13. Exhibitors found in violation of rules, or in practices unethical or adverse to the Oregon State Fair, shall be subject to forfeiture of premiums and/or privileges. 14. See Department Rules for credential policy for specific departments. 15. All signatures and information necessary to determine the exhibit is eligible must be on the entry form and all fees (including penalties) must be paid before judging of the class has started. 16. No person shall act as judge in any division in which he/she or a member of his/her immediate family is an exhibitor, is in charge of an exhibit or division, or is in charge of a group of exhibitors. 1 17. All classes, sections and lots shall be judged under the American System of Judging unless another system is specifically indicated. 18.

A judge may disqualify any exhibit not of show quality. 20. No person shall be allowed to interfere with judges during the judging or with OSFEC staff, or to offer any criticism of exhibits. Violators of this rule shall be excluded immediately from the judging area and from competition, and be subject to such additional penalties, including cancellation of awards, as OSFEC may consider proper. 21. It is understood that the act of entering an exhibit or contest at the Oregon State Fair is asking OSFEC to secure a qualified judge to place a judgment on the exhibit or performance. It is therefore courteous to gracefully accept the decision of the judge, realizing that it may be in conflict with an exhibitor’s personal standards. Every reasonable effort will be made to secure highly qualified and conscientious judges. 22. Protests may be filed by exhibitors in writing to the Oregon State Fair Manager within 24 hours of the judging. Protests must be accompanied by a $50 deposit, a sum which may be forfeited if the protest is not sustained. Protests shall be adjudicated by OSFEC. 23. Only the judges’ results will be used as evidence for payment of premiums. Ribbons and tags will not be accepted. 24. Premium checks may be withheld from exhibitors who have any debt with OSFEC. 25. Premium checks will be mailed to the address shown on exhibitor’s entry form after the close of the Fair. 26.
