What is ShowCase?
ShowCase is an artistic and academic fair for Christian home educated students, of CHEO member families. ShowCase gives students the opportunity to display work well done, receive recognition from judges, and encouragement from other home schooled students.

The goals for ShowCase are for students to:
¨      define a study or presentation
¨      set up a time schedule
¨      meet a presentation deadline
¨      grow from constructive evaluation 

Standards of Conduct:
All ShowCase attendees are expected to act in an orderly and respectful manner, maintaining Christian standards of courtesy, kindness, appropriate language and honesty.

All students and parents are to show an image of Christian discretion, modesty, dignity and good grooming at all times during ShowCase Day. Parents and guests - you are welcome and a vital part of ShowCase. Your children must remain under your supervision at all times. ShowCase events are geared for children ages eight and older. Younger children are welcome to observe, but might find the events difficult to sit through. Please do not allow your children to run free and disrupt the day's event. If you have small children who have a difficult time sitting quietly, please consider leaving them with a friends or relative who is not involved with ShowCase. This will free you to enjoy the day's activities with your older children.

Dress Code:
According to the guidelines set forth by Christian Home Educators of Ohio, for ShowCase 2008, I agree to comply with appropriate decorum throughout the entire event, and agree to comply with wholesome and modest appearance.

Eligibility:
Any CHEO member family that has a home educated student between eight and eighteen years of age may participate in ShowCase. Participants may enter events as individuals and/or as part of a group. A group may consist of two or more participants and may include children under eight years of age. Adult participation is limited to directing or setting and striking of stage for drama, or accompaniment in music. It is the participant’s responsibility to read all ShowCase information and adhere to all deadlines and registration requirements. 

Participants may enter a maximum of THREE events. A participant may only enter each event once, for instance, a participant could not enter piano twice, (although they could enter piano as an individual and also as a group event in a duet) but could enter piano and woodwind. 

Age Groups:
Entries will be judged in the following three age groups:
             8-10 years
             11-14 years
             15-18 years

The registration age must be the student’s age on the day of ShowCase. Groups will be entered and judged in the age group of the oldest student participating.                       

All ShowCase winners from 2007, may not win the ShowCase Award in the same Event in 2008.  Any entry previously submitted in ShowCase may not be resubmitted.
