4-H Interactive Exhibit

Who

Members of 4-H who are in the 6th, 7th or 8th grades may compete with interactive exhibits. *Each member may enter only one exhibit.

*Unless the second is either citizenship or leadership. If you win at the 7th grade district level, you cannot enter the same project in the 8th grade.

What

These exhibits must relate to your main 4-H project. Exhibits should be informative, artistic, accurate, creative and built on a central them. They should answer the questions: how, why, what if, etc…

Each exhibitor will be given ½ of a six-foot table for their exhibit. Tri-fold exhibit boards should be used. The space from the table to the floor is also available if needed. Items can be displayed on the table. The exhibit should have a title and include the word 4-H or the clover somewhere on the board.
No live animals can be used in your exhibit.

Time Limit

The 4-H’ers will be expected to explain their exhibit in 1 – 2 minutes. The judge will then take 2 – 3 minutes to ask you questions. The oral explanation will be just for the judges. After the judges are finished, exhibits will be on display for others to see.
