Please note: These rules will be strictly adhered to. ADJUDICATORS: No competitor, teacher, parent or other interested party (other than Committee Members) shall communicate with the Adjudicator on the subject of the competition prior to or during the competition.

The Committee reserves the right to appoint additional or substitute Adjudicators if necessary. AWARDS: The decisions of the Adjudicator shall be final.
