I was a judge a couple of years in the middle school science fair.

Its been a few years but I know that the criteria were clear on what we were to be looking for. Neatness was an attribute as was presentation - but the big winners were all projects which involved a significant amount of effort and following the scientific method. We were to ask the students questions about their project to evaluate their knowledge of what they had done - reducing parental interference.

Glitter would have scored no points under the criteria I recall.
