We have had some question regarding when the registration portion of the OYM Fine Arts website will be up and running. Online registration will open on Friday, January 12th. This will allow exactly 2 weeks for all registration to take place.
I apologize for any confusion this might have caused in your preparation and planning! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Don't forget that if you have any question regarding the Fine Arts Festival please email those to ohiofafrules@yahoo.com .

Participant Categories
Question:
Can a student do two small vocal ensembles, or can they just do one thing in each category?
Response:
The following is taken from the General Rules section on page 15 in the 2007 rulebook: "A church may have as many entries as it desires. All participants in a group presentation must register with the same church. A participant or group of participants may not enter the same category more than once."

Judging Criteria and Seven Video Project Theme
Question:
Where can I see the exact criteria by which Video Production entries are judged? The criteria were listed in the 2006 Rulebook, but not in the 2007 version.
RESPONSE:
The national office is redesigning their website, and this criteria will not be on there until the middle to end of January. You can request a pdf copy of the judging criteria (for ALL categories) for 2007 by email at ohiofafrules@yahoo.com.
Question:
In the Video Production category, I know that the theme of Sacrifice must be followed for the Theme Interpretation genre, but must it also be followed for the Seven Project 7 @ Night and Seven Project School Assembly genres?
Response:
The national theme of sacrifice does NOT have to be followed for the seven project night or school assembly category.

Christian Band Question
Can a group of students do a secular song for christian band but change the lyrics to christian ones?
RESPONSE:
There is nothing in the rule book that says you can't change the words to a song and perform it. However, you would need to make sure that you meet all the copyright requirements, you would also need to figure out how you would be able to submit your music with the changed lyrics to the judges. If both of these things are done in accordance with the rules everything should be fine.

On the last page of your faf update you may have seen the note regarding the downloadable version of the 07 rulebook being available on the blog site as well as the OYM site. Unfortunately we are unable to post this on the blog site, so check the OYM site for this information. We are working hard to get it uploaded so you will have this resource available to you!

Welcome!
COMMUNICATION! It is a key component of a successful Fine Arts Festival! That’s why we are implementing multiple ways for you to communicate with us and vice versa regarding rules and other questions you might have about our 2007 Fine Arts Festival.
The first method, which is definitely not new, is a NEW email address specifically for questions about the upcoming festival. That email address is ohiofafrules@yahoo.com.
The second method is through this new blog that we have created to help keep you up to date on what questions are being asked and what responses have been given to those questions. The web address for the blog is: http://ohiofaf.blogspot.com.
I believe this will also be a very effective way for you to stay informed about decisions that have been made by the committee regarding logistics for the festival and rule clarifications. Anyone can post a comment on this blog; you do not have to “sign up” for anything. Any questions that come in through the above address will be posted on the blog with a response, generally within 1 business day.
If you have any problems or questions regarding the blog site please email me at the above email address.
