Events are Open

Contest season has started, meaning registration is open on 4-H Connect for many of the District Contests: Horse Judging, Photography, Roundup and Shooting Sports.

Many more will be coming online soon.

To make the system work WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please check the entries closely before submitting them. Photography and Roundup are the two with the biggest mistakes. A typical mistake in Roundup entries looks like this:

Educational Presentation Catagory - Housing and the Home Environment
Title of Presentation - Horse Shoer vs. Farrier

Either the title is wrong or the category is wrong, but the only way to correct the mistake at the District Office, is to Call You. These fields are editable by the County Office and corrections can be made prior to submitting it to the District.

Photography entries are more difficult to screen, but you can start by making sure the number of entries the contestant pays for, matches the number of categories they have selected. If these do not match up either make a correction or reject the entry.

Lastly.... Get the word out. Most contest registration has a late registration period, but the penalty is costly.

till next time,
