Do we really need experiments/lab research for Science Fairs?

Sep 19 (edited) in Research & Science Fair

Hello, I am currently researching about "Korea's education system and its detrimental effects on Korean student's mental health". It is currently planned to be a literature review, and I am doing extensive research by reading books and articles. But I do have questions. I want to submit this to ISEF, and other science fairs that I would come across. Though my project is a noteworthy one, it is a literature review, which I don't see many people do in here and at other science fairs. So I was just curious if you guys have seen projects like mine which doesn't fit the conventional science fair topic. Do you think my research could be seen as a "science fair" topic? If not, what improvements could I make?

Thank you!
