Projects will be awarded per category during the awards ceremony after all judges’ scores have been tallied. All projects will receive a participation ribbon. The top three ranking projects in each category will receive a first, second and third place ribbon. 

The ISEF winner will receive a $200 check and trophy (9th – 12th grade project chosen).

Six “Best of Fair” projects will receive a $100 check each and a medallion. Three “Honorable Mention” projects will receive a $50 check and certificate.

The East KY Regional Science and Engineering Fair is affiliated with the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the most prestigious science fair for high school students in the United States. Its name is well-known among college and universities and the scientific community. 

One project from the EKSC regional fair will advance directly to the ISEF competition. That competition will be held on March 26, in Richmond, KY.
