NEW THIS YEAR for the Jackman-Long (non-animal) Competitions:

REGISTER ONLINE so that when you bring your items to the Fairgrounds, an entry tag will be waiting. The deadline for online registrations is Friday, August 2, 2013.

As always, you may continue to mail entry forms or deliver them in person to the Fairgrounds. Click on the pictures below to learn about the specific rules, guidelines and deadlines for each competition area.

Thanks to a generous donation from Sleep Country USA, we’ve brought back REMOTE DROP-OFF and PICK-UP locations to encourage participation from across Oregon!

We will also provide extended dates and times for Exhibitors to drop-off and pick-up items at the Fairgrounds. See the individual handbooks for specific dates and times.

CREATIVE LIVING

Baked goods, preserves, decorated cakes, quilts, paper arts, textiles and on-site food competitions. Here’s your chance to make it official by showing your 'stuff' in Creative Living.

WOODWORKING

Professionals, hobbyists and amateurs alike share a common passion for a variety of interests including marquetry, turning, carving and sculpture. Their passion is as much a part of Oregon as the trees that provide the canvas for their work.

FINE ART, PHOTGRAPHY, CALLIGRAPHY AND POETRY

From photography to oils, watercolors, sculptures, calligraphy and poetry, we celebrate Oregon artists. Competitions include Fine Art, Photography, Calligraphy and Poetry.

FARM, GARDEN & FLORAL

From fruits and vegetables to bonsai and flowers, farmers and gardeners keep a good thing growing. Enter your best blooms in the Floral competition, and watch the excitement grow.

4-H & FFA

Head. Heart. Hands. Health. Four small words that mean big things to 4-H members. 4-H participants have hundreds of exhibits to display. FFA students also compete to become an Oregon State Fair Champion.

HORSE SHOW

The Oregon State Fair Horse Show is one of the biggest horse shows this side of the Mississippi. Housed in the Historic Horse Stadium, the Horse Show features competitions of more than 15 different horse breeds, including the very popular draft horses.
