Preferred Display Requirements
It is preferred that national agriscience fair participants display the results of their study uti-
lizing a standard printed poster with dimensions of 36 inches (height) by 48 inches (width).
―
Posters can be created utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint
slide format. The display should be
stable and free standing on the provided table top. Each participant is responsible for
providing backing for the poster. The display may include any objects the student wishes to
exhibit, as long as they adhere to safety guidelines.
Standard Display Requirements
A standard display should consist of one or more panels of information and any objects the
student wishes to display within safety guidelines. The exhibit panels must be constructed to
be stable and free standing.
The maximum size for a project is 48 inches wide by 30 inches deep (the distance from
front to back) by 108 inches high (from floor to top of display, this includes the table and
project). At the National FFA Agriscience Fair, tables will be provided and will not exceed
a height of 36 inches. Failure to meet these requirements will result in disqualification. No
tablets, iPads, cell phones or other electronic devices will be permitted. Internet access will
not be provided.
Interview
All national finalists are required to meet with the judges to explain their projects. Explanation
and questioning may not exceed 15 minutes. Students with conflicts due to participation in oth-
er national events will need to choose only one event in which to participate. Please see
“Interview Schedule Conflicts” section. The interview is an opportunity for judges to ask you
questions about your project. Interview and questions for agriscience fair participants will nor-
mally be 5-10 minutes. The interview portion is used to help judges determine both the extent to
which you actually participated in the project and your knowledge gained. A team project must
be presented by a team of two. Judges will ask questions to determine your understanding of
your project; how it relates to your SAE and possibly how your project relates to other FFA ac-
tivities. The following is a list of example questions that may be asked.
1. How and why was the project selected?
2. What was your goal? What did you plan to accomplish in your project?
3. Were there any surprises in your project? How did you deal with them?
4. What did you learn from the experience?
5. How much time did you devote to your project?
6. What kept you from being discouraged?
7. How did you manage time for this project in relation to your other activities?
8. What would you advise others doing a project? What is the value of a project of this
type?
9. How can your findings and conclusions be applied in the agriculture, food and natural
resources industry?
