Create a promotional display in the community to promote 4-H

Your club or group can put up a display in our local communities as one of many ways to tell others about 4-H and to encourage them to consider getting involved. Use your creativity and imagination to share what you enjoy most about 4-H!

Your display should promote 4-H. A good display should provide clear information:

• What is 4-H? Will people know important basics after they look at your display (or just one part of 4-H)? You can include real project books, real projects, ribbons, plus photos to show all the parts of 4-H.
• Is there a phone number/e-mail?
• Is there a local club name? (Good PR in the community!)
• Is there a brochure or any paper to take home with information/website/e-mail?
• Photos - Are they captioned? Are the captions in LARGE enough letters to read easily?
• Is there at least one obvious 4-H Clover?
• Is it attractive, interesting and pleasing to the eyes? Examples:  Bright colors, variety of textures, shapes, balloons.  Is lettering easy to read from a distance?

How to enter:
Email annag@umn.edu information on where to find your display. All displays should be in place by Monday evening, October 1. Judging will take place sometime during that week. As a way to recognize clubs for their efforts, the 4-H Management Committee gives exciting prizes to the top displays.
