Special Contests
The Special Contests offer fun and creative opportunities for all ages to participate throughout fair week. From decorated cookies, tablescapes, photography, and handcrafted “Little Critters” to the biggest zucchini competition and the Scott County Market Wheat Show, there’s something for everyone to showcase their talents and hometown pride. The popular “Month by Month in Scott County” Photo Contest will once again feature winning entries in the 2027 Scott County Calendar, while family-friendly activities like sidewalk chalk art add even more fun to the fair experience. Most contests will accept entries on Tuesday, July 21 at the Wm. Carpenter 4-H Building, with ribbons, prizes, and premium money awarded in many divisions. Full contest rules, entry details, and deadlines are available below.
