Modifications can be made to the original county exhibit to 1) meet State Fair class requirements, or 2) incorporate suggested improvements made by the local judge. 4. An individual 4-H'er may enter ONLY ONE exhibit class in the State Fair 4-H Exhibit Division. This includes exhibitors in Fashion Revue, Public Presentations, Club/Group exhibits in Public Adventures and Intercultural, and any exhibit classes only offered on one day.

8 Project Standards Members who choose to participate in an exhibit opportunity have their projects evaluated against individual project standards by a judge at a local or county 4-H show. Each project will be awarded a recognition ribbon. The ribbons signify the following levels of achievement: Blue Red White Project met standards Project needs some improvement Project needs much improvement Evaluation for achievement of project standards measures members efforts against an objective standard only, not against each other. Conference judging allows 4-H members to hear the judge s comments directly and to ask questions on how to improve. Conference Judging Judging is a learning experience. You can learn what you did well and how you could improve in the future. An exhibit does not measure all that you have learned, but it is an example of what you have done. During conference judging, the judge will encourage you to talk about your project exhibit. You will be asked some questions about your exhibit, so you should be prepared to tell what you were trying to do in your project (goals and objectives) and be able to describe the methods and processes used to produce the exhibit. Read and follow the rules and requirements for your project carefully. Display good sportsmanship. Listen carefully to the judge so that you can accept constructive criticism and learn from it. Remember, judging comments can be helpful, but they are only one person's evaluation at one point in time. Realize that people sometimes make mistakes. 4-H Pledge: I pledge: My HEAD to clearer thinking, My HEART to greater loyalty, My HANDS to larger service, and My HEALTH to better living, For my club, my community, my country, and my world 8

The contest is open to any youth 14 years of age or older (16 years of age or older for horses) who is a bonafide exhibitor at the Illinois State Fair Junior Show in the species for which he/she is entering competition. Age is determined as of January 1 of the contest year. A maximum of five individual winners of the overall Superior Young Producer Award will be selected in each of the following species: beef, dairy, horses, sheep, and swine. Each winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship and plaque. Scholarships must be used to attend a post-secondary formal educational institution. They will be held by the Illinois 4-H Foundation until notification of the winners' enrollment in a college, university, junior college, or trade school. For more information, contact the Extension Office. Entries are due July 1.
