Creating Your Organization
Creating Your Organization
Section titled “Creating Your Organization”Before you can do anything in Faire Portal, you need an organization. This is your home base — where all your judges, forms, students, and scores live.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- You need an authorization code. It looks like
FAIRE-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. If you don’t have one, contact Faire Portal support.
1. Go to the Create Organization page
Section titled “1. Go to the Create Organization page”After signing up and logging in, you’ll see the Create Your Fair page. If you already have an organization and want to create another, look for the option in your account menu.
2. Enter your authorization code
Section titled “2. Enter your authorization code”Type your code into the Authorization Code field. It validates in real time — you’ll see a green checkmark when it’s accepted, or a red error if the code is invalid or expired.
3. Name your faire
Section titled “3. Name your faire”Enter your faire’s name in the What is the name of your fair? field. Something like “Orange County Science Fair” or “Springfield Regional Faire.”
4. Pick a subdomain
Section titled “4. Pick a subdomain”Choose a short subdomain in the Choose your subdomain field. This becomes part of your URL: yourname.faireportal.com. Keep it simple — lowercase letters, no spaces.
The system checks availability as you type. You’ll see a confirmation when it’s open.
5. Click Create Fair
Section titled “5. Click Create Fair”Hit Create Fair. That’s it. You’ll land on your new dashboard, ready to set things up.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Your subdomain can’t be changed after creation, so choose carefully.
- The authorization code can only be used once.
- Your URL will be
yoursubdomain.faireportal.com— this is what you’ll share with judges and students.
