A county fair queen must reside in the county she represents or an adjoining county if the majority of her activities are in the county she represents. If a fair represents more than one county, the winning contestant must reside in one of the participating counties.

Each contestant must be an active member of at least one service organization in her community such as a church group, Girl Scouts, 4-H, etc. (Eligibility is not limited to 4-H membership) Each entrant in the State Fair Competition must be selected from a competitive queen contest at her county fair. If an Iowa fair does not have a contest, it may sanction another queen contest in their county as the ―Official County Fair Queen Contest‖. The winner of this is then eligible to compete at the state level. Only contests sponsored by county fairs that are members of the Association of Iowa Fairs will be eligible to compete at the state level.

Only winners as indicated under Rule 5 are eligible to represent counties at the state pageant. In the event the county queen is unable to participate, alternates will be considered in order of election.

No professional model (one who has had ongoing employment in which modeling was the primary part of the job) is eligible to compete in the state competition.

Any contestant who has competed at the State Fair Finals may not compete again.

Any county fair queen selected after the 2014 Iowa State Fair and meeting the above qualifications is eligible for the 2015 competition.

The Iowa State Fair will accept only one entry per county. Should there be more than one queen contest in the county, it will be the responsibility of the fairs concerned to hold an elimination contest. The only exception to this rule will be in those counties where more than one fair qualifies for membership with the Association of Iowa Fairs. In those cases, both fairs will be eligible to submit candidates for competition.

It is the responsibility of each contestant to make arrangements for transportation to and from Des Moines. Hotel accommodations will be made for county queen only.

The county fair queens will be the guests of the Iowa State Fair Tuesday, August 11 through the time of the crowning Saturday, August 15, 2015.

The Iowa State Fair will provide a sash and crown for each county fair to award their queen at the county fair. This must be worn when she appears at the Iowa State Fair and is included in the $250.00 entry fee requested with the enclosed entry blank. Entry fee for entries received after May 31 is $300.00.

Absolutely NO entries will be accepted after June 30.
