What do the ribbons mean?Blue ribbons mean very good work.

Red ribbons mean average work.

White ribbons mean needs some improvement.

Rosettes mean best of show among their lot number areas.

Honorable mention stickers mean best in lot in photography.

In this era of uncertainty, the Sioux Empire Fair Arts Center encourages all of our exhibitors and guests to practice good hygiene practices:

4 If you are sick, stay home.

4 Wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer when washing is not available.

4 Refrain from touching exhibits or surfaces as much as possible.

4 The health and safety of our guests, participants and community is our priority.
