They retain the authority to, at their own discretion, move items to more appropriate divisions and/or classes. The judges also may disqualify any exhibit that is not a true representation of the category description in which it was entered. Placings The judges shall award first, second, or third place according to merit; and if without merit, the judges will not give an award. This rule applies whether there are one or more entries in

the class. Just because there is only one entry in that division, this does not automatically make it a 1st place winner. Proof of Placement Judge's book will only be used as evidence for payment of cash awards. Ribbons and tags are not accepted.
