Both Washington FFA and National FFA offer an Agriscience Fair that recognizes student researchers studying the application of agricultural scientific principles and emerging technologies in agricultural enterprises. The agriscience fair is for middle and high school students. Participation begins at the local level and progresses to state and national levels.

The Washington FFA Agriscience Fair for 2024 will be hosted on April 20th at the Puyallup Spring Fair.

Registration via JudgingCard will open January 15th and will close on March 15th.
March 15th will be the registration deadline. This is when written reports will be due as well.
Presentations for the 22nd will be set once registration has closed. We will do our best to accommodate those that may be traveling the day of the event.
The fair has asked that displays be present all weekend if possible. We will work to get displays transported to the fair ahead of time for those that wish to travel the day of. This may require having displays ready the week prior to the event. We are still working out details to make this work but will keep everyone posted.
