Agriscience Fair Prequalifying
Participants must be selected at a state or interstate agriscience fair held between the immediate
previous National FFA Convention and prior to the National FFA Convention in which they are
participating. The state supervisor of agricultural education or the executive secretary must cer-
tify that participants are eligible. If an ineligible student participates in the agriscience fair, the
member or team will be disqualified. Certification forms will be made available each year to the
state supervisor of agricultural education and the executive secretary through AgCN. States
must declare to the National FFA Organization by June 1 that they will have teams represented
in specific categories and divisions of the agriscience fair. All students must be certified by Ju-
ly 15. All students qualified to participate in the National FFA Agriscience Fair must have their

together and postmarked to the National FFA Center by July 10.
Incomplete submissions will be marked as participants. A maximum of 15 applicants in each
category and division, as determined by a screening panel, will be certified to participate at the
National FFA Agriscience Fair. Please review the prequalifying score sheet and rubric on page
17-20.
Scores from the written report submitted for prequalifying will count as 25% of the overall
score of the agriscience fair. Interview judges at the agriscience fair will not see the scores from
the written report and the convention score will account for 75% of the overall score.
If a project is missing a report component, for example the Literature Review, this section of
the scorecard at the summer judging event will be marked as a zero and will be taken into
account for the prequalifying score.
A project will be marked as a participant for the following reasons: incomplete application,
missing signatures.
A project will be marked as bronze for the following reasons: did not meet minimum score at
summer judging to qualify for an invitation to the National FFA Convention & Expo.
Appeal Process
If a written appeal is filed within seven (7) calendar days after convention, national staff will
review the appeal. The written appeal must be filed with the national staff responsible for scor-
ing the event within seven (7) calendar days of the results announcement along with a $50 filing
fee. The fee will be returned if the appeal is justified. Upon receiving input from team leader
and division director, national staff will accept or deny the appeal. The national staff’s recom-
mendation will be shared with the Chief Executive Officer for further input, if necessary. Any
ruling on the appeal provided by the Chief Executive Officer will be considered final.
