California State Fair Competitions

The very first California State Fair took place in 1854 with the goal to promote agriculture and to provide a place where agriculturalists could share ideas and techniques. To enhance the State Fair's exhibits, competitions were developed in a variety of categories to determine which entries were the best in the West.

With that same pioneering spirit, the State Fair continues to host unique and world-renowned competitions showcasing a variety of industries, including those that extend far beyond agriculture. Thousands of awards are bestowed annually in categories such as fine arts, culinary, youth, technology and more. However, the largest State Fair competitive programs continue to be agriculturally-based, a fitting tribute to California's largest industry.

For more information about the State Fair Competitive Programs, email entryoffice@calexpo.com or call 916-263-3146.
