be allowed extra time in some cases.

entry from the general public. That is the sole purpose of the display. Displays used for other means may be

removed (this is at the discretion of the judges). This means NO loud music is allowed from the exhibitor’s display.

Any display with objectionable music, videos, art, or other media is not permitted and will be removed from the show.
