There will be two Divisions in the competition.
Division One will be for members reading or using a written version of the Creed.
Division Two will be for members reciting the creed from memory.
Both Divisions will be split into two categories
Category One = 4th grade or 9 years old through 8th grade.
Category Two = Presently attending High School.
There will be a Danish system of judging. There will be one trophy potentially awarded in each Category and Division. To receive the trophy, the presentation must warrant county winner status. If you won a trophy last year, you must switch catagories or move up to a higher division.
To Participate: Each member will recite the 4-H Creed and be asked a series of three questions from the judges. A list of at least ten questions that could be asked will be provided to the members in the December Forecast. All participants in each Division/Category will be asked the same questions.
The judging score sheets will be very similar to those used in the FFA Creed competition. We will put the scoring sheet on the Website as soon as it is together.
