Additional Plaques

Every winning project will receive one plaque from the festival at no cost for each award.

Extra plaques may ordered by students, parents, teachers, or schools. Many teachers and/or parents acquire extra plaques for major student contributors to the project or for the school trophy case, lab, or media room. The plaques display the award category, the project title, school name and the year.
