2021 Washington County Project Judging and State Fair Requirements

Judging Day – Thursday, July 15 at Washington Co Jr Fair Building – begins at 5:00 pm Check the 4-H Blog for your specific time

Project Judging Dress Code - The goal of participating in project interviews is to help 4-H members prepare for future interview situations. With that in mind, members should dress as if they were attending a job or college interview. • General appearance should be neat and clean • No t-shirts with inappropriate language or graphics • Jeans or long pants are preferred • Skirts/shorts should reach at least the mid-thigh. • No low-cut tops or visible undergarments • Hats should not be worn during the interview. Examples of appropriate dress: button-down shirts, polos, dressy tops, 4-H club t-shirts, nice jeans, capris, skirts. State Fair Selection – If a project is eligible for State Fair, qualifiers and alternates will be selected from 4-H members receiving Superior ratings attending Judging Day on July 15. The only exception is that members who cannot attend judging due to another 4-H activity, such as Leadership Camp or Shooting Sports Camp, may have their interview pre-recorded and shown to the judge to be eligible for State Fair participation. Make-up Judging – will be held on Monday, August 9 starting at 6:00 pm in the Junior Fair Building for members not available to attend Project Judging. Signup here to reserve your spot for makeup judging: https://go.osu.edu/judgingmakeup $6 Voucher – all members that attend Project Judging on July 15 will receive one $6 voucher from the 4-H Advisory Committee. The voucher can be redeemed at the OSU Extension toward the purchase of 4-H Project Books or applied toward 4-H Camp Registration. One voucher per member. * Project skill level indicates the project’s intended audience. B = Beginning level—for members with little or no experience in a project area, or 8 to 10 year olds; I = Intermediate level, for members with some experience in a project area, or 11 to 13 year olds; A = Advanced level—for experienced members in a project area, or 14 or older: and X = All levels—for all skill and age levels.
