Best Of Fair Awards:

Best of Fair awards are given to five participating students in the Junior, Intermediate and Senior divisions who are judged to have presented the best projects in the fair. The Gold, Silver and Bronze winning students are invited to compete in the Canada Wide Science Fair in May with their CWSF registration, travel and living expenses (app. $1,500 value for each winner) fully paid for by FLASF. They are awarded Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honorable Mention plaques and the Gold, Silver and Bronze winners are also named on trophies. The Honorable Mention students are runners-up for the CWSF and will have the opportunity (all expenses paid) to go to CWSF if any of the trophy winners cannot attend.
