Competitions

In New York State, our competitive spirit is a big part of who we are – and few places is it more evident than at the Fair. Each year, thousands of participants cater to their competitive side by entering in competitions spanning a full range of categories including fine arts, photography, livestock and more. From plus-sized poultry to blue-ribbon cattle to antique tractors, the Fair hosts competitions for nearly every interest and age group.

If you’re looking to join the competition, go to our How to Enter page for further information, details and online entry. Whether it’s a cash prize, blue ribbon or good old-fashioned bragging rights at stake, we wish you the best of luck!
