• NO signatures should show on the front of exhibits. • Prints will fade and change color with exposure to light and hu-
midity at the Fairgrounds. To maintain color quality, we recom-mend that you select high-quality archival papers and inks.
5. Mounting Suggestions: • To mount your photo use acid-free artist tape. Do not use mask-
ing tape or Scotch tape!! • Turn the photo over (back side up) and apply � or 3 strips of tape
at the top edge of the photo. Half of the strip on the photo and half off the photo.
• Turn photo right-side-up. Lay it face-up on your backing board. • With your photo face up and your tape on the back, put another
strip of tape down on top of the piece that is hanging off the pho-to so that half the new tape is adhered to the backing board and also the tape on the photo.
• Now you have the print mounted to the backing board, run dou-ble sided tape around the perimeter of the photo on the backing board � times to get the proper coverage.
• Lay mat down and pat to make sure it adheres. Trim the excess backing board with a utility knife.

All precautions will be taken during the Fair to protect the entries, but no liability for loss, theft or damage from any cause can be assumed by the Department or the Fair Management. Submission of any work constitutes an agreement to this effect.
11. Judging: • Judges will be looking for creative ways of photographing chosen sub-
jects. Appropriate soft focus or selective focus pictures are acceptable. Out-of-focus images or blurred handheld pictures are regarded as poor work; sharp, clear images are valued. In black and white prints a full range of tones from black through grays to white is expected.

lected divisions. • Danish System of judging will be used for youth divisions 61.

An exhibitor may compete only in those classes listed in his/her classification plus Open Classes. For example, a Novice may exhibit only in Novice Classes and Open Classes. Supervisors and judges may reclassify entrants into correct classes.
EXHIBITOR UPGRADE RULE: An exhibitor may upgrade his classification even though he/she has not won the appropriate number of blue ribbons, but once having exhibited in a higher class (excluding Open) the exhibitor can never return to a lower classification. For example, a Novice who decides to reclassify as an Intermediate and exhibits in Intermediate Classes can never go back to being a Novice even though he still has the number of blue ribbons showing that he should be a Novice.
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT RULES: Flowers must be arranged in a single container unless otherwise specified. Arrangement designs may be enhanced by accessories. Accessories are considered anything in a design in addition to the plant material and container. Accessories may include a mat, small object, figurines, backdrop, and/or frame.Scorecard: - Coordinating & ConformanceDesign (Balance & Proportion) Condition of material

2013 MONTEREY COUNTY FAIR WATER-WISE LANDSCAPE DESIGN AWARDS
The Water Awareness Committee of Monterey County, Inc. (WAC) will host its 8th Annual Water Wise Landscape Design Awards at the �013 Monterey County Fair. The competition was developed in con-junction with WAC’s Retire your Turf campaign to promote water conservation awareness in the Monterey County. The campaign en-courages the replacement of thirsty lawns with attractive, low main-tenance; drought-tolerant landscaping that reduces water use and protects water quality from harmful fertilizer and pesticide runoff.
Monterey County Fair garden displays in Divisions 139 – 143 and Divisions 149 - 151 will be judged on the use of native and drought tolerant plants, water-wise irrigation technology (such as soaker hos-es, drip irrigation, weather-based timers, and rain sensors), the use of soil conditioners, ease of garden maintenance, and overall design. Judging and award notifications will be made August �7th, the Tues-day preceding the Fair’s opening.

�. Only fleeces in the grease are eligible for competition. Manufactur-
ers and dealers are excluded. Judging begins at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, August 17, �013 in the Salinas Room. This is prior to the Fair.
3. Fleeces shall not be more than 1�-months growth. The definition of “1�-months” shall be the definition most commonly accepted by the wool trade. Thus, if a fleece is actually slightly more than 1�-months growth, due to unavoidable delay in obtaining shear-ers, or by weather, it shall be termed “1�-months” wool.
4. Because this Wool Show terminates in an auction of hand spin-ning quality fleeces, all fleeces shall have bellies and tags removed. Fleeces not in compliance shall be disqualified. Fleeces entered in breed classes shall not be penalized for their lighter weight.
5. No wether fleeces may be included.6. Ewe fleeces only in Division �00�, Market Classes.7 Each exhibitor will be limited to two fleece entries per class.8. All fleeces entered must have been sheared from sheep owned by the
exhibitors. Fleeces shall have been shorn after November 1, �01�.9. The judge has power to re-classify fleeces and move fleeces to the
correct class before making awards. If moving a fleece results in an exhibitor having more than two fleeces in the division/class the extras will be disqualified.
10. Fleeces will be shown in clear plastic bags, rolled with flesh side out in a manner to allow their being handled without falling apart.
11. Any fleece entered for competition in the Monterey County Fair Wool Show shall be discriminated against if:
• Showing any paint or tar brands (soluble branding fluids permitted). • Showing a weak staple or break in the fiber. • Containing any excess burrs or other vegetable matter.1�. JUDGING OF FLEECES: • Fineness • Evenness of quality or fineness among the various parts of
the fleece • Length and strength of staple. • Estimated clean weight • Condition • Character, including crimp and color13. Fleeces may be shipped prepaid, addressed to Wool Show, Mon-
terey County Fair, �004 Fairground Road, Monterey, California, 93940; or fleeces may be brought to the Monterey Fairgrounds by 5 p.m., August 14, �013. A paper carton is excellent for shipping. Sale time is 1�:30 p.m., Monday, September �, �013.
14. SALE OF WOOL: Fleeces deemed spinning quality by the judge will be sold in a special fleece auction. Please only enter fleeces you are willing to sell at the auction. Please state on Entry Form, the MINIMUM PRICE per POUND desired for each fleece, and dis-position of fleece if not sold at auction. A 6% selling charge will be collected on all fleeces sold. If no minimum price is set, it will be determined to be $1.00/lb. You will NOT be allowed to change sale price after entry is received.
15. Exhibitors not wishing to incur the cost of return shipment for those fleeces which do not sell may donate said fleeces to the Wool Show. The fleeces will be used for educational purposes. Please send a preprinted mailing lable in case a fleece must be returned.
16. Fleeces not making sale cut in judging will be released immedi-ately after judging, Saturday, August 17, �013. All unsold fleeces

The Monterey County Cattlewoman’s AssociationC.B.C.I.A GOLD SEAL AND CARCASS OF MERITSPONSORED BY Shamrock Ranch Company Trenton Baldwin
CARCASS CONTEST RULES1. All market beef sold throughout the Monterey County Fair Junior
Livestock Auction will be evaluated for the Carcass Contest. There will be no live pick-ups. Auction buyers will be requested to conform to this rule when designating disposition of animals purchased.
�. Carcasses will be graded at the meat packing company by USDA graders and the results compiled in cooperation with the Agricul-tural Extension Service. To be eligible for awards, the carcass must have a minimum USDA quality grade of high select. Results will be calculated for all steers/heifers entered.
3. Placings will be based on USDA yield and quality grades. The actual mechanics of applying these principles will be as follows:
A) Yield of boneless retail cuts to the nearest 0.1% will be determined from USDA yield grades.
B) Quality grades will be determined to the nearest one-third of a grade under current USDA standards.
C) Subtract 0.8% from the estimated yield of cuts for each one- third grade quality difference from high prime. This combines the yield and quality factors into a carcass index.
D) Ties in carcass index will be broken by dividing rib-eye area by hot carcass weight and carcasses ranked with higher values will be ranked first. Live and carcass pictures of each animal will be shown along with data on carcass evaluation.
E) Gold Seal Carcass of Merit will place above other Carcass of Merit & Carcass of Merit will place above other carcass
contest placings.4. The American System of Judging will be used.5. 4-H and FFA will be judged together.6. Market Steer and/or market heifer must place gold seal carcass
of merit in carcass contest for breeder to be eligible for bred and fed award.
