2003 Winners

I would like to thank all students, teachers, parents, sponsors, judges, St. Margaret and Honor's College Students, Special Awards organizations and businesses, and Region 5 Science Fair Staff for helping to make this the largest Fair in Region 5 history Once again, the fair was not as mistake or trouble free as I would have liked. I have received many great suggestions on how to improve on future fairs. The judging format will undergo a drastic change in 2004. We will continue to work on getting more judges available to help out. Already, I have been offered help in the area of judging sheets tabulation and certificate preparation, in the form of additional PC's and a customized software program. The continuing goal is Better & Trouble Free. The 2003 Louisiana Region 5 Science & Engineering Fair had 420 registered entries from 60+ schools in 8 parishes – Calcasieu, Cameron, Allen, Beauregard, Jefferson Davis, Rapides, Avoyelles, and Vernon. Below is the winners list. Next year will be Region 5's 50th Anniversary. As I am not planning to do too many more awards, I am working on bigger and better awards. Trophies and Medals will have a new look. If you have any suggestions at all to improve on the 2004 Fair, I urge you to please let me know.

Overall Fair Winner and Senior Division Winner get an automatic bid to the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair in Louisville, Ky. in May. First, second, and third place winners in the Senior and Junior divisions progress onto state competition at the Louisiana Science & Engineering Fair in Baton Rouge, La., in April.

***********************

The judging criteria for Categories and Special Awards are different. Special Award sponsors typically provide guidelines and stipulations as to who their awards should be given to. A student may pick up several Special Awards while at the same time not even placing in a category. The Louisiana Region 5 Science and Engineering Fair has no influence on criteria for Special Awards. Also, the selection of the Division Winners is done from the group of 1st Place Winners in each division. The judging is done by an independent team that was not involved in the category judging. Special Awards that any student may have garnered have no determination what so ever on whether or not he or she places and / or receives Best Of Division.
