Display size and set up
Display size and set up
The recommended size of a project display is as follows (posters can be bigger as long as they stand themselves):
Height: 110 cm Width: 60 cm
All project spaces will have a taped-off portion of a standard folding table for the display board. All project materials must fit on the table in the taped-off section. It is suggested that students have 3-5 copies of their abstracts at their booth to give to judges for review. Any photos on the display board should have a credit line below indicating where the photo was copied from or who took it. Also, if electrical power is necessary for your student’s project display or needs seating due to an injury or ADA requirements, please notify the IT team at least two weeks before the fair.
Canadian School Wonder Fair also prohibits the use of the following items at a project display:
• Cement and/or waste samples
• Taxidermy specimens or parts
• Preserved vertebrate or invertebrate animals

• Hazardous substances or devices

• Flames or flammable materials
• Batteries with open-top cells or wet cells
• Drones or any flight-capable apparatus
• Hazardous objects that can harm you.
• Any other apparatus deemed unsafe by the fair committee if any part of your projects seems questionable rather than the student being disqualified during the fair.
A general layout for the display board is below. This is not a required layout but just an idea to help you see how your information should be organized.
