Creative competitions are woven into the history of the Florida State Fair. Since our start in 1904, competitors from every corner of the state have pushed the boundaries of innovation as they battled it out for the blue ribbon prize in quilting, baking, painting or other skills. That tradition continues today as youth and adult artists, bakers, woodworkers, horticulturalists, photographers and more bring their best work to be judged at the fair. Whether you’re a classically trained fine artist or a Lego sculpting expert, there’s room for your creativity to shine at the Florida State Fair.

Participants must submit completed entry form online or paper by December 13, 2019. Handbooks with rules and important information are available under the side links on this page.

For questions or concerns, contact Brenda Gregory, Competitive Exhibits Coordinator at (813) 734-2810 or brenda.gregory@floridastatefair.com.

The submission period has ended for the 2020 Fair.
