AzSEF 2026 will be held IN PERSON at Desert Financial Arena on ASU's campus in Tempe, AZ on March 26 & 27, 2026. We are excited to bring participants, their families, volunteers, judges, and sponsors together for an amazing event in a new location, and will need a large number of judges and volunteers.
Elementary and Junior Division judging will take place on March 26, with Senior division judging scheduled for March 27. We do ask that judges have a minimum of 2 years of college or a degree in any field. There is a high need for judges with advanced degrees and experience to judge in the Senior Division. All judges will need to create a new account in zFairs, even those who have previously judged.
Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks before the fair begins as well as during the fair, on March 26 and 27, 2026.
Pre-Fair needs: include stuffing SWAG bags, project and name tags and fair set up on March 25, 2026.
March 26 and 27: include vendor and volunteer check-in, Display & Safety and general "runner."
