Regional & state project bowls
Our second-most attended event all year is the Project Bowl Competition! Patterned after the golden-oldie television show College Bowl, 4-H project bowls challenge teams of 3-6 youth on their knowledge of these 4-H areas: Dairy, Dogs, General Livestock, Horses, Lamas, Poultry, Rabbit and Wildlife.
There are four regional bowls, which lead to the state competition. Each has two divisions: Junior (grades 3 - 8) and Senior (grades 4 - 4-H graduation). Regional winners advance to the 4-H State Project Bowl. Winners at the state level in dairy, general livestock, horse, poultry and wildlife go on to national contests!
Get your friends together, recruit a coach, study hard, and most of all HAVE FUN during the project bowl season!

T-Shirts & sweatshirts
T-shirts and sweatshirts will be for sale at the State 4-H Project Bowl! The official design is still being drafted by Northwest Designs, but at previous State 4-H Project Bowls, 4-H members were able to have their names on the back of the shirts with a star by their name. Bring some extra money ... you may want to buy a shirt! The MN 4-H Project Bowl Program receives a portion of the sales.
