4-H Poster
Posters provide a way for 4-H’ers to non-verbally communicate to the public. Rules for this contest include:
- Only one poster per 4-H’er. 4-H’ers will have the option to have a conference with the judge or to have the poster non-conference judged (the exhibitor doesn’t meet with the judge). Conference judging of posters will have a designated block of time determined after all entries are received and a schedule is made. Exhibitors will be informed of the designated block of time for posters in the exhibitor letter they will receive the week of March 25.
-
Choose one of the following poster themes:
- 4-H is . . . (Open to 4-H’ers interpretation)
- Join 4-H
- Unmask Your Opportunities(The 2013 Iowa 4-H Youth Conference theme)
- Nothing Compares (The 2013 Iowa State Fair theme)
- The 2013 Poster Exhibit Entry Form should be attached to the back of the poster. This form will be mailed to you the week of March 25.
- All posters must be designed on or affixed to, standard poster board or foam core board – size minimum of 14” x 20” or maximum of 15” x 22”. Posters may be vertical or horizontal and completed with any medium: watercolor, ink, crayon, acrylic, charcoal, oils, collage, etc. They cannot be 3-dimensional and materials used to make the poster cannot extend more than 1/8 inch above the poster or foam core board.
- The poster should have the 4-H emblem displayed. Remember, do not print on or cover the emblem because it is a copyright logo.
- Posters cannot incorporate copyright materials or exact copies of other promotional designs, such as the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference theme logo or the Iowa State Fair logo. 4-H’ers cannot use “trade-marks” of advertisements on their posters or the exhibit will be disqualified (example: milk mustache advertising “Got Milk”)
- Participants in the 4-H Poster Contest may take their posters home for 4-H displays OR they may leave their poster with Extension staff to have it displayed during the 2013 Story County Youth Fair and throughout the year.
