Your Fair’s story deserves to be remembered—and the Scrapbook Contest is your chance to creatively capture it! A scrapbook serves as a visual and narrative record of your Fair’s operations, events, and community, assembled for someone who’s never attended before.
All physical scrapbooks must be brought to convention for display. Judging will be done by a representative from a non-participating Fair.
Entry form coming soon!
