Projects will be inspected for rules violations (protocol) before the actual judging process at the Junior/Senior High Division. Ideally, all certification forms should be sent to the Regional Science Fair Office with registration (or shortly thereafter). The certification forms will be checked prior to fair and should have time to be fixed. Those bringing certification forms for the first time, on fair day, there may be difficulties in trying to correct them. If these violations cannot be corrected, the student will receive only a ribbon and not be eligible for any special or grand awards. Students must not change the project after inspection.
At the Elementary Division, projects will be inspected for rules violations (protocol) by the team captain before judging or SRC/IRB Committee. If these violations cannot be corrected, the student will only receive a ribbon and will not be eligible for any special or grand awards.
