Smaller competitions, of course, can use a classroom or a library. Each exhibit entry should have its own table. Some entries may need floor space rather than a table. Keep tables in numerical order by entry numbers. Keep Youth, Junior, and Senior individual and group exhibits separated so that judges are not confused and conversations between judges and students can be more easily handled.
Signs can direct students to the area of their division.
They can find their set-up table by looking for their entry number which should be taped to the table. Their entry number is often written on their name tags or provided by a sponsor or volunteer from a list of entries. Make sure there are electrical outlets available for exhibits that require electricity. Any small, private room will do for paper interviews.
