4-H PRESENTATIONS CONTEST
AWARDS Individual/Team
Purple - $5.00 Blue -$4.00
Red - $3.00 White - $2.00
The 4-H Presentations Contest includes two types of presentations: Illustrated Presentations and Teaching (Trade Show Exhibit) Presentations.
An Illustrated Presentation, given by one (1) individual or a team of two (2) individuals, is a live presentation with a formal talk where youth will use visual aids (such as props, posters, computer-based visuals, handouts, video, etc.) to show and tell others how to do something. Presentations are given on a stage/platform. Judge views the entire presentation and engages in a question-and-answer session following presentation.
A Teaching (Trade Show Exhibit) Presentation, given by one (1) individual or a team of two (2) individuals, is a live, interactive, trade show style presentation where youth will continuously engage a constantly changing/moving audience for 30 minutes by showing and telling them how to do something while answering questions. Multiple (up to 6) Teaching Presentations will be scheduled simultaneously, allowing fairgoers/contest attendees to learn from many 4-H youth at one time. Teaching Presentations are given behind a table amongst 4-H exhibits. Judge occasionally stops to view presentation, ask questions, and observe audience engagement.
Rules
- Each participant is required to wear one of the following during their presentation: the 4-H chevron, the 4-H emblem, or a 4-H shirt.
- Enrollment in the project area in which the participant is making a presentation is not required.
- All 4-H Presentations topics should be related to how the 4-H youth is learning about science, healthy living, citizenship, and agricultural literacy.
