FILMFEST 4-H RETURNS TO MISSOURI
Don’t miss the country’s only national 4-H film festival, taking place right here in Missouri! All Access Passes
are now available for the third annual FilmFest 4-H, Aug. 4-7 in Branson. The festival features screenings of
youth-produced films and workshops designed to help young filmmakers immediately improve their skills. There
are also opportunities to visit one-on-one with the presenters, plus the rare chance to compare filmmaking notes
from other 4-H’ers around the country.
The festival kicks off with a reception, special screening, and backstage tour of a 6-story-high screen at the Branson
IMAX Entertainment Complex. Workshop presenters are currently being announced, and include Hollywood
cinematographer Denis Maloney, who’s extensive work includes The Contender, with Jeff Bridges and Christian
Slater, Stuck, starring Mena Suvari, and Edmond starring William H. Macy. FilmFest 4-H workshop topics include
special effects and makeup for films, in addition to cinematography. As always, workshops focus on quality
filmmaking with awareness of a teenager’s budget.

Judging at the Fair and Ribbon Standards
A common question that comes up this time of year is, “I don’t understand how 4-H judges my items?” First of all, 4-H
uses what is called “conference judging”. That means that the youth speaks with a judge and talks about what was
learned, the process, etc. The judge uses that knowledge along with the quality of the item to come up with a final placing.
This means that identical items may receive different ribbons based on the conference judging aspect. Another
important note is that items are judged using the Danish System—that means they are not judged against other items,
but rather against a set standard. This is why all items in a class may receive blue—or they all may receive red. Below
is a general guide to keep in mind for placings:
State Fair Quality: Exceptional quality, ideal exhibit in nearly every manner—must receive a blue ribbon.
Excellent or Blue: A blue is given to those entries or members who most nearly meet the standards established for the particular class or
level of performance. Excellent does not indicate perfection, but is a wide grouping indicating a high degree of achievement toward the
elements in the standards for the exhibit.
Good or Red: The second or red grouping indicates those exhibits or individuals who rank good in relation to the particular standards or
expected achievement of the class or contest.
Fair or White: The white grouping contains those exhibits or contestants who upon evaluation are found lacking and rate only average,
acceptable, or satisfactory rating for the standards established.
Hopefully this helps explain the process of 4-H Judging. Remember, there is no shame in a red or white ribbon—if all
items received blue, then there would be nothing to strive for in future years. Best of luck, 4-H exhibitors!
