    4. Appearance/neatness/clarity of the entry. 

    STATE QUALIFIERS: 

        • Each year the Kansas State Science and Engineering Fair Executive Board determines how many entries a regional fair can advance to state. In the past, this number has been 35 (thirty-five) projects from Division II and Division I as “State Qualifiers”.
        • Judges will determine which projects to advance to state competition. 
        • Additional projects will be designated as “Alternates” which will advance to the state fair in the event a State Qualifier is unable to attend. 
        • Judges may choose to award “honorable mention” awards for students whose projects were of very high quality, but did not score in the top of their division 
        • Additional “Special Awards” will be given to projects which demonstrate a special excellence (examples include- Best Use of Mathematics, Best Use of Photography, etc.) 

        ALTERNATES: 
            • “State Qualifier” projects must register and pay their entry fee to KSSEF no later than: 
            • If a “State Qualifier” cannot attend KSSEF, they should inform WRSEF staff AS SOON AS POSSIBLE in order to allow their alternate to attend in their place!
