    3. Posters SHALL NOT use copyrighted materials, such as cartoon characters or commercial product names, logos, or slogans. Avoid using over-used phrases that do not command the viewer’s attention. Follow the official 4-H emblem guidelines.
    4. Posters may be in any medium: watercolor, ink, crayon, markers, computer graphics, etc. They may not be three-dimensional. Entries with components thicker than paper (such as milk cartons, pencils, pop cans) will be disqualified.
  2. Poster Judging Criteria
    1. Idea: Simple, clear message, appropriate for a poster.
    2. Lettering: Readable from a distance, appropriate size in proportion to art.
    3. Art: One dominant, eye-catching element, art relates to written message.
    4. The arrangement of the poster should be well balanced and make good use of the entire poster space without being crowded with art and lettering.
    5. Colors used should be bold and harmonize well.
    6. Quality of construction: Neatness, appropriate use of materials.
