- Any entry that has won at ExploraVision's regional and/or national levels may not be re-submitted in future years
- Any entry previously awarded a prize in another competition may not be submitted
- Any student who was selected as a regional or national finalist in the 1992 – 2010 ExploraVision Awards can only compete in subsequent years with a new team — i.e., with students who have not previously been selected as ExploraVision Awards regional or national finalists
Categories
Each category will be judged separately, based on the abilities of students in those grades. Students in a lower grade may be part of a team competing in the next-higher entry category. However, students may not move down to a lower grade-level entry category. ExploraVision has four entry categories:
- Primary Level (Grades K – 3)
- Upper Elementary Level (Grades 4 – 6)
- Middle Level (Grades 7 – 9)
- High School Level (Grades 10 – 12)
