THE SIZE OF THE PROJECT DISPLAY

The actual size of your display is an important matter for you to keep in mind. Projects which are too large will be subject to disqualification at the fair. Here are the MAXIMUM dimensions for a project display.

     HEIGHT (from the floor to the top of the project) - 350 cm
     LENGTH (from side to side when project is set up) - 120 cm
     DEPTH (from the front of the project to its back) - 75 cm

The NRSEF provides sturdy tables for the set up of the science fair displays. The table tops are approximately 90 cm off the floor. Students wishing to use the tables (and most students do use them) are reminded to prepare displays which are of a size suitable to set on these tables without exceeding the height restriction. The sturdiest and easiest to handle display are made of light wood construction with panels attached by hinges. Avoide the use of corrugated cardboard or bristol board, which may be deemed hazardous by a visiting fire marshal. Ensure that all papers are firmly attached to the display.

Electrical outlets will be available for the use of students. It is the students's responsibility to supply PROPERLY GROUNDED extenstion cords.

Photographs of the project work in progess make excelled additions to any exhibit. Use photographs to demonstrated any hazardous materials or procedures involved in your project.
