We welcome you as a judge to the annual Salt Lake Valley Science and Engineering Fair, which will be held at the Rice-Eccels Stadium Towers, on March 26th and 27th, 2009. One of the most valuable experiences for young scientists is the opportunity to discuss their findings with established members of the scientific and engineering communities. SLVSEF participants take great pride in their work; judging interviews greatly contribute to the overall educational experience of the competition. Each year professionals, representing university faculty, industrial scientists and engineers, representatives of private and federal research centers and agencies, and medical researchers, and community members volunteer their time to interview and award promising young students that participate in SLVSEF.

Please do not register if you do not intend to make it to the Fair. If you register we will assign you projects to Judge. If you do register and you cannot make it, we will expect you to find a replacement.

Judges need to arrive at the University of Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium Tower between 8:30 and 8:45 AM on March 27th. Please be on time! Judges will receive an email reminding them of the Fair one week prior to the fair. Two judge preview sessions will be offered to allow judges to see the projects they will be judging without the students present. Judges are strongly encouraged to attend one, if not both, of the judge preview sessions on March 26th from 7:00-10:00 p.m. or March 27th from 7:00-8:45 a.m.

These will be the guidelines used by the fair to judge the projects for the purposes of awarding the grand award and category winners. These guidelines will not necessarily be used by the sponsors to award the special awards.

Judge Training Courses

To be a judge at the 2009 SLVSEF, you are strongly encouraged to attend a judge training course. If you have attended a judge training in the past or if you have judged at SLVSEF, the training will be different this year so please consider attending!

Four courses will be offered again this year: two in Provo and two in Salt Lake City.
