About Local Fairs
Holding Local Fairs: Each school in Region VIII, which includes the parishes of Livingston,
St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington, is encouraged to hold a local
Social Studies Fair to select winners who will enter the Region VIII Social Studies
Fair. In schools where a local fair is not held, selection of entrants for the Region
VIII Social Studies Fair may be made by a committee of teachers.
Limitations and Classification. Please note the limits on entries to the Region VIII
Social Studies Fair given under “Organization.” Please be sure that all projects are
placed in the proper Discipline as described .
Judges. Please note that the Region VIII Social Studies Fair is unable to provide
judges for local fairs.
If this is your first time participating in your local fair, you may want to review
A Guide to Social Studies Projects.
