Display of Entries

Display Cases - Exhibitors must set up their own exhibit during the time allotted on the Entry Delivery and Set Up dates listed in the Exhibit Timeline. Exhibit coordinators will assign display cases and, except for full case display entries, exhibitors will share one of the following:

• Shadow Box: 45½”W x 24”H x 22½”D (interior dimensions)
• Pedestal Case: 24” x 24”, 30” x 30” or 36” x 36” (interior dimensions)
• Jewelry Wall Case: 28”W x 18”H x 7”D (interior dimensions)

“Full Case” entries will be assigned a Shadow Box or Pedestal Case that best fits the type of exhibit and its contents.

Exhibit Set Up - All entries should be sized according to the limitations of the display cases. Please contact the exhibit coordinators if you have any concerns about the size of your exhibit.

Exhibitors must choose display options that highlight their work, ensuring that the focus remains on the pieces themselves rather than the display. Exhibitors must provide stands and, for full case entries, risers and case liners (neutral colors preferred).

Once exhibits are installed, exhibit staff will secure and lock cases.

Labeling - Proper labeling is required for each exhibit. Please see each division for specific labeling requirements. In some cases, a link to a fillable label template is provided. Please contact exhibit coordinators if you need assistance printing or cutting labels.

Sale price information may be provided only on Division 1505- Jewelry and Division 1506- Metalwork labels. Inclusion of additional info on a label beyond required info will not increase the score in the labeling category.

If entry tags are required, they will be provided by exhibit staff at entry delivery.

Judging

Judging for the Gems, Minerals and Jewelry competition takes place on site and uses the American System of judging for all divisions except Division 1507 (Educational Exhibits), where the Danish System is used.

Judging Criteria

See division descriptions for division-specific Judging Guidelines.

Labeling Criteria: Identification of item and associated information, accuracy, and spelling.

Presentation Criteria: Organization, neatness, showmanship, and use of case liners (for full case displays).

If a tie occurs in the scoring, the exhibit which the judges deem to carry the most interest to the public shall receive the highest score.

Judging Results

Results will be posted on the San Diego County Fair’s website by the second week of the Fair.

Delivery & Pickup

Entries must be delivered to the Fairgrounds. Refer to the Exhibition Timeline for in-person delivery dates. If an exhibitor is unable to bring their entry on the delivery date, they may send someone in their place. Exhibitors will be emailed additional delivery and pick-up instructions including a map showing access to the Fairgrounds.

Delivery does not guarantee that an entry will be in the show. Entries must meet Fair rules and judges’ standards for quality and presentation. Work entered may be disqualified if misrepresented or not ready for display.

A claim check will be issued to each exhibitor upon entry delivery and must be presented at the time of entry pick up. If an exhibitor is unable to pick up their entry, they may arrange for another person to bring in their claim check with a signed written authorization from the exhibitor.

Awards

Award checks will be mailed within two (2) weeks of the last day of the Fair. Please submit address updates to the Entry Office in a timely manner.
