The Creative Arts and Horticulture youth contest has
353
different classes to enter!
Divisions include Baked Goods, Food Preservation, Horticulture, Designer Craftsman Functional Crafts, Fine Arts, Stitch Craft, Decorative Crafts, and Photography! There is something for every youth of Harris County to enter. In 2023 we added an Adult SENIOR (age division > 19 years old) and optional Silent Auction for placing entries by youth exhibitors. In 2024 we limited Silent Auction slots and pre-registration/entry required for all exhibits/projects. In 2025, we extended Silent Auction into Saturday and changed the divisions to combine stitch related crafts and to separate purely decorative from functional crafts.
Entering is easy - Register and Enter exhibits online by October 13th by paying the one-time registration fee of $25.00 and $10 per item entered! No Day of Show entry will be available. At the time of entry, you will be asked what Division you are entering and then at the Fair during check-in you will be assigned to a Class. If you have already completed an entry form with your registration fee but want to add more items (before Oct 13th), you may submit another entry form without paying the $25 registration fee again.
