Sunflower
House, a child abuse
prevention center and child advocacy center, is a non-profit, United
Way agency serving Wyandotte and Johnson Counties in Kansas. The result
of a successful merger between the Child Abuse Prevention Coalition,
founded in 1977, and the Sunflower Children’s Center, founded in 1994,
Sunflower House is in a unique position to impact this leading
deterrent to child health through three program initiatives: Education,
Child Assessment & Medical. Sunflower House is a full member
agency of the National Children’s Alliance, our national affiliate that
ensures adherence to best practice standards of its federally
recognized and supported multidisciplinary approach to child abuse
investigations. Sunflower House was recognized as the 2002 Outstanding
Crime Victim Service Organization in Kansas by Attorney General Carla
Stovall and awarded 2002 Outstanding Organization at the Kansas
Governor’s Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Judges
overal opinion
of the car
Each item listed
above
will be scored on a scale of 1 - 5. Any area that cannot be
seen or is not accessible (i.e. trunk or hood closed or windows rolled
up) will receive a score of 0.
In addition to
the mandatory 1 - 5 scoring, the judges may award up to 3 optional
points for each criteria. This was devised specifically for the H2O
classes to level the playing field between "garage queen show-only" or
"fresh off the showroom floor stock" vehicles and daily-driven modified
vehicles. The air-cooled classes will also adopted this same
scoring method for their cars this year to help simplify the
organization of the judging.
Judges:
All
judging is done on a volunteer basis, and someone will announce over
the PA system when they're ready for judges to congregate at the main
building to pick up scoring sheets. We encourage all show
entrants and spectators to participate in the judging.
Judging for each class is done with two people, and those two judges
will confer with each other and agree upon the point value to award
each car for each criteria. Those who have never judged
before are paired up with someone who has experience. You can
judge any class your car is not entered in. These guidelines
were devised for the highest level of fairness.
