Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair
    Encouraging and Inspiring the Students of Piedmont Virginia
                           in Science and Engineering

Participants

About 300 students from Piedmont Virginia representing more than thirty different schools from over a dozen school divisions participate. For specific information about the current or most recent fair go to the Fair Program page.

Middle School students (Junior Division) and High School students (Senior Division) are judged separately in each of 17 science and engineering categories. Schools within Albemarle, Culpeper, Fluvanna, Green, King George, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, and Stafford counties are in the Science Fair region. We welcome the participation of all 6th through 12th grade students in our region even when their school does not include the Fair in their science program.

Students compete in their school fairs where projects are selected to participate in our Regional Fair. At our fair they are interviewed by a panel of volunteer judges who are often from a scientific or engineering field themselves. The winners are announced the evening of the Fair.
