The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture will once again conduct a statewide poster contest at the agricultural fairs. Participating fairs will hold their own contest and submit one poster from each age group to the state level for additional judging and cash prizes. Entries must be received by or postmarked on November 1, 2023.
1. Only one poster may be submitted per exhibitor, per age group. There will be three state competitions: ages 8-11, 12-14, and 15-18. Exhibitors must be in one of these age groups as of June 1 of the current fair season to qualify.
2. The poster size must be either 14 x 22 inches or 14 1/2 x 22 inches. Other sizes will not be accepted for judging at the state level. This year's theme is "Rooted in Progress." Contestants are asked to submit their artwork that reflects the deep roots of agriculture in Pennsylvania's history and the significant innovations farmers and their families have made and continue to make, to grow and adapt as markets, consumers, and resources change.
3. Exhibitors using other themes will be disqualified at the state level.
4. The fair secretary or contest coordinator is responsible for submitting the poster and completing the entry form for each poster with each age group to the Fair Office. Please be sure to provide all the information requested on the entry form; incomplete forms will be returned. The poster and entry form can be given to the Fair Administrator at the PSACF fall zone meetings or mailed to the Fair Fun Office: Tracy Barone, Fair Fund Administrator
PA Department of Agriculture
2301 North Cameron Street, Room 310 Harrisburg, PA 17110
The poster contest entry form can be obtained online on Department's website.
5. Posters must be packaged flat. Posters rolled or folded will be ineligible for judging. Please, do not mail the posters to the PA Farm Show Complex.
6. Posters must be received by, or post marked on November 1, 2023. Posters will be evaluated on use of the theme, visual appearance and creativity in relation to the exhibitor's age.
7. Premium checks for:
1st Place $100 2nd Place $75 3rd Place $50
These checks will be presented by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to the top three individuals. Winners will be notified in advance and invited to attend an awards presentation. Participants are required to provide their social security numbers for award disbursements from the PA Department of Agriculture.
All posters will become the property of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for possible future promotional activities for the Pennsylvania Farm Show and Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs. Any duplication of posters from previous years will be disqualified. Posters will not be returned via mail. Contestants may arrange to have their entries returned following the PA Farm Show through their individual fairs; however, the posters must be picked up in person at the PSACF Convention or Spring Zone Meetings.

The goal of the PA Preferred® Baking Contest is to encourage young people across the Commonwealth to participate in Pennsylvania's agricultural fairs by showcasing Pennsylvania grown and produced products in their contest entries.
1. Open to any individual amateur baker (age 8 through 18 at the time of the fair's contest) who is a Pennsylvania resident. One entry per person.
2. Entrants may NOT have won 1st place in this PA Preferred® Junior Baking Contest at any other fair in 2023.
3. Entry must be six (6) individual sized portions of the baked entry item.
4. Entire entry must be made from scratch. No pre-packaged ingredients may be used (ex: pre-made mixes, cookie dough, pie crust, frosting, etc.) All ingredients and decorations must be edible.
5. At least two (2) PA Preferred® or locally purchased ingredients must be used in the recipe. Some examples of qualifying ingredients include grains (such as oats or flour), butter, milk, eggs, fruit and/or vegetables.
6. A PA Preferred® logo is not required because not all PA Preferred® products carry the label. The name of the ingredient and the source is sufficient. For a list of acceptable products visit papreferred.com. Contact RA-AGPAPreferred@ pa.gov for any assistance with qualifying ingredients.
6. Entry must be submitted for judging on a food safe disposable setting. (All pans, plates and dishes are considered to be disposable and will not be returned.)
8. Recipe(s) must be submitted with the entry, printed on one side of 8½" x 11” paper. Recipe must list all ingredients, quantities, and the preparation instructions. The name of each PA Preferred® ingredient or locally purchased ingredient must be clearly listed clearly along with the source that made/grew the product (ex: PA Preferred Milk - Galliker's brand) or Apples - Smith Farm Orchard). Entrant’s name, age, address and phone number must be printed on the back side of all the pages. (All recipes and cookies-brownies-bars will become the property of the Fair or PA Farm Show and will not be returned.)
9. Refrigeration is not available at the fair or PA Farm Show. Entries that require refrigeration after baking must indicate so in the recipe. Those entries will not be sold, auctioned or otherwise distributed for consumption after judging for food safety reasons.
10. Judging Criteria:
Flavor (aroma, taste, good balance of flavorings)
Texture (appropriate for the type of cookie, brownie or bar)
Bar Cookies - A batter or other ingredients are poured or pressed into a rectangular pan (sometimes in multiple layers), then baked and cut into individual-sized squares. Brownies and lemon bars are examples of bar cookies. Tip: Cut when completely cool and use a plastic knife.
Iced Cookies - A drop or rolled cookie iced for decoration or to add flavor. Sugar cookies or fancy Christmas cookies are examples of this type of cookie.
Drop Cookies - A relatively soft dough is dropped by the spoonful onto the baking sheet. During baking, the mounds of dough spread and flatten. Chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies and macaroons are examples of drop cookies. Tip: Chill soft doughs before dropping onto a cool cookie sheet.
Pressed Cookies - Made from a soft dough that is extruded from a cookie press (cookie gun) or pastry tube into various decorative shapes. Spritz cookies are an example. Tip: Hold cookie press so that it rests on the cookie sheet. Raise press straight up from the cookie sheet after enough dough has been released to form a cookie.
Sliced or Ice Box Cookies - Made from a stiff dough that is refrigerated in logs until it becomes hard. It is then sliced into rounds and baked. Examples include pinwheels and shortbread. Tip: Use a thin, sharp knife to slice dough.
Rolled cookies - Made from a stiffer dough that is chilled and then rolled out and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter, knife or pastry wheel. Gingerbread men are an example, or any other cookie made with a cookie cutter. Tip: Take your time so that cookies are uniform in shape and size, this helps them bake evenly.
Filled Cookies - Rolled, dropped or pressed cookies that are assembled with a sweet filling: frosting, jam, marshmallow crème and peanut butter crème.

All: Must be processed in water bath canner for 10 minutes. Color is characteristic of the fruit. Clear not discolored from over cooking. Aroma and flavor are characteristic of the fruit without excessive sweetness or over cooked flavor.
Special Information: The condition of the container is of special importance. It must be a standard canning (mason) jar made for canning. Packers such as mayonnaise, peanut butter or other products intended for one way service are not acceptable for fair entry competition. Ring Bands must be clean, free from rust and loose on the jar. Lids must be sealed and the use of paraffin is not acceptable. Most of all, if you are not willing to read the rules in your premium book and follow these simple suggestions, please don’t blame the judge for your poor placement.
Fruit Butter - A smooth creamy spread that is created by slow cooking fruit and sugar until it reaches the right consistency. The pulp is then run through a sieve, making it quite smooth; these types of spreads are not always translucent and often opaque. Best used as a spread of a filling.
Honey Spreads - Fruit products which use honey in the preparation as a substitution for par of the sugar.
Jam - A thick sweet mixture of fruit, pectin and sugar that is boiled gently but quickly until fruit is soft yet thick enough to spread easily and can form a blob. Jams have pieces of crushed or chopped fruit. Jams also are good for fillings.
Preserves - Like jams except they have chunks of fruit surrounded by jelly.
Jelly - Clear, sweet spread made from fruit juice, pectin and sugar, which holds its shape when unmolded.
Marmalades - A citrus spread made from the peel and pulp of the fruit. Marmalades are cooked for a long time and have no pectin are used for spreads and glazed.
Conserves - A very thick and chunky textured spread made with cooked dried fruits and nuts. Works well as a spread and as a condiment for meats and cheeses.

Basis for Judging
ALL FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE MUST BE GROWN BY THE EXHIBITOR. EXCEPTIONS IN SECTION 700
Plants that have been previously judged are not eligible to compete.
HORTICULTURE EXHIBITS: Uniformity of Color, Size for the Variety and Condition of the Foliage and Flower.
FLORAL DESIGN EXHIBITS: Conformance to Class, Artistic Design, Color, Harmony and Expression.
Suggestions for Exhibitors
1. Specimen flowers should have straight, sturdy stems and the flowers should be at their prime. A bud showing color counts as a bloom. Plant material should be as nearly perfect as possible. Endeavor to use plenty of foilage from the flowers.
2. All debris, spray residue, insects, spent flowers, old fruit and berries and injured foliage should be removed. Diseased or infested entries will not be permitted. Foilage below the water level must be removed.
3. Extra large and bushy potted plants cannot be received; they should be no larger than 36 inches in diameter and 18 inches in height.
4. CONTAINERS: Pots for potted plants are not to exceed 10 inches. Containers should harmonize with the plant, be clean, free of cracks and chips. Horticulture specimens are to be entered in clear glass containers (not colored glass). Leaves should not be below the water level.
4. Floral arrangements should not show the mechanics (oasis, structural materials). Exception: Ikebana arrangements.
5 No exhibitor may enter more than one specimen for competition in any class, otherwise they will be disqualified.
6. Clear bubble wrap may be used at the neck of the vase to stabilize the specimen.
7. No cut fresh fruit or vegetables will be permitted in any of the exhibits. MAXIMUM CARE WILL BE TAKEN OF THE CONTAINERS AND ACCESSORIES UNTIL THEY CAN BE RECLAIMED BY THE EXHIBITORS. THE FAIR ASSOCIATION CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE OR LOSS.
