Officers and Leaders—End of Year Materials End of Year 4-H Materials—pin list and other forms will be passed out at the July 28 Pool Party. If you have questions/comments, feel free to ask during the pool party or contact Pat or Shaun at any time. As discussed at the beginning of the 4-H year, each club is expected to return the following documents to the Extension Office. This will encourage recognition and responsibility for officers and clubs. If you need help completing or have questions, now is the time to take care of those questions. Completed Secretary’s book Completed Treasurer’s book (with audit and year end report) Completed Seal Application so your club can be recognized Community Service form Award Applications Report Forms 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!
