4-H Public Presentations

A 4-H Public Presentation can be a demonstration or an illustrated talk. It should teach a skill, concept, or principle. At area and county contests your public presentation must be related to a project you are enrolled in.

Public presentations should be from two to ten minutes in length. Maximum length including set-up, questions, and clean-up is twenty minutes.

You may use live animals if appropriate. You are encouraged to use life-like models, miniature models, and/or illustrative materials where practical to visualize your presentation. Visuals should enhance the understanding of your presentation, be legible, and easily seen.

Blue ribbon winners at area contests may advance to the county finals contest. Junior, Intermediate, and Senior blue ribbon winners at the county contest will advance to the State 4-H Fair competition.

You can contact Public Presentation Program Leader McCanna at 935-8942 for more information. She can also visit your club and teach you how to prepare and deliver a blue ribbon presentation.
