Displays for County Fair 4-H Exhibits Display boards are the only boards that can be used for 4-H projects.
1. Display boards are made of lightweight cardboard and are sturdy, attractive, inexpensive and available at most local stores. They come in several colors. When opened, the 1 foot wide winged sides provide a surface to help the exhibits stand alone on a table top. The standardized display board size of 4’ x 3’ is to be used for 4-H projects.
2. No headers. No attachments are allowed on the display boards that would prevent the board from lying flat.
3. Note: For more information on displays and projects go to www.4h.colostate.edu and look under Display Hints and Tips and Project Tips.
Tips 1. Boards must be easily read from a distance of 3-to-5 feet. Use large, bold letters (at least 3” high) for exhibit title or captions.
2. Design the exhibit, keeping in mind the size and shape of the open show board (three surfaces including the wings).
3. When mounting items on the display board, avoid things that are bulky or heavy which could cause the display board to collapse. Mount items securely so they won’t fall off. Tape will not work.
4. You have only 60 – 90 seconds for the message to be read; be concise.
5. Tell your story with visuals.
6. Avoid putting too much in the exhibit. It should never have a crowded look.
7. Dark lettering on a light background is most visible.
8. Do not use headers or attachments on your display board.
Binder: (For e-Records, additional materials and manuals) 1. Use a sturdy binder to hold the e-Record, manuals, supplements and other materials securely.
2. Stacks easily and lies flat.
3. Do not use the slider-type binders as the e-Record, manuals, supplements and other materials will not stay secure in these types of binders. If using pocket folders, make sure that the contents are placed in the prongs, do not leave in the pockets.
