Overview
Contest is open to all residents of Connecticut. Prizes will be awarded in two divisions at each fair:
- Youth (up through 15)
- Adult (age 16 and over)
Local Contest
Exhibits may be entered at any fair which is a member of the Litchfield County Council of Fairs. Contestants may enter their exhibit in as many fairs as they wish until they win first prize. At that time they will be representing that fair at the Litchfield County Council of Fairs Contest in the fall.
If it is found that the contestant has entered and won first prize in more than one Litchfield County Council Fair, they will be disqualified from participating in the Litchfield County Council of Fairs Contest in the Fall of 2023.
County Contest
Representative winners from each fair in both the Youth and Adult Divisions will be eligible to enter their exhibit in the County Contest held at the Fall meeting of the Litchfield County Council of Fairs on the last Wednesday of October. Entries must be in place by 6:30 pm that evening in order to be judged.
