need a 4-H photography label. 4-H members who do not have internet access can get the
information from their 4-H leader or the Woodbury County Extension office. Design
Elements and Art Principles: 4-H members will need an explanation of at
least 3 design elements and/or art principles that the 4-H’er must include in
their write-up/goals for visual arts, home improvement, and clothing and
fashion, and sewing/needle arts.
5. If the exhibitor chooses a display to illustrate what was learned:
• Posters may not exceed 24” x 36” in size.
• Chart boards, graph boards, project presentation boards, model displays, etc., may
not exceed 48” x 48” in size. Maximum size is determined by measuring the flat
(unfolded) dimensions.
• Display boxes may not exceed 28" x 22" in height or width and 12" in depth.
6. The 4-H’er’s goal and applicable exhibit standards will form the basis of the evaluation
process. Evaluation criteria will include demonstrated learning, workmanship and techniques,
and general appearance and design. Exhibitors will receive written evaluation comments on
the exhibits and a blue, red, or white or an Iowa State Fair exhibitor’s ribbon. Refer to exhibit
class evaluation for detailed evaluation criteria in each class. Exhibit Tip Sheets and 4-H Hot
Sheets are located at: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/projects
7. 4-H clubs are strongly encouraged to have Food & Nutrition, Textiles & Clothing, Home
Improvement, Child Development, Photography, and Visual Arts exhibits evaluated at local
achievement shows. Achievement shows will help the 4-H member decide correct classes,
goals and give an opportunity to experience conference judging before fair.
8. 4-H Building Entry forms must be brought with 4-H exhibits on Monday, July 30, 2018
judging day. 4-H exhibits will be judged in the Varied Industries Building located on the
fairgrounds.
9. 4-H Exhibitors and the general public are reminded to stay out of the 4-H booths and
State Fair booth once decorating is finished. Anyone wanting to see an exhibit more closely
please ask the 4-H Superintendent on duty to assist you.
10. Entry hang tags must be on exhibit and the hang tag attached before the exhibit can be
judged. Entry hangtags must be securely fastened to each exhibit. It is important that this is
done beforehand. Hang tags are available from your 4-H leaders, hang tags will not be
available at the fair (the hang tag is not available on the web). 4-H’ers need to plan ahead
and ask for hang tags from your 4-H leader or pick up the hang tags from the Woodbury
County Extension Office.
11. The grade the 4-H’er has completed will determine which color tag is used:
Completed 4 grade and Clover Kids in grades K-3 – Blue Tag
Completed 5 – 12 grade – White Tag
12. Exhibits will be judged on Monday, July 30, 2018, in the Varied Industries Building
located on the fairgrounds. A conference-judging schedule will be published in the 4-H Sce-
ne . Conference judging means that the member takes his/her exhibit to the judge of that de-
partment and discusses the exhibit and the member’s learning in a two-way conversation.
The judge then makes the decision on the ribbon placing. 4-H clubs must be judged at the
assigned times. Each club will be given a color wristband for each member and the time for
their conference judging on the day of judging. If the 4-H member has a large number of
exhibits or will not be able to be judged at the assigned time, that 4-H member will need to
contact the General 4-H Building Superintendent before fair judging day. 4-H members who
do not come at their assigned time and/or did not have prior approval will have to wait until
their judging time or if late will be judged as time allows. All exhibits will be judged. It is
important that clubs adhere to the judging schedule so that judging runs
smoothly throughout judging day.
13. Premiums will be awarded to exhibits in the 4-H Building on the basis of Blue -$3.00;
Red - $2.00; and White - $1.00. 4-H members who receive a merit ribbon in lieu of a blue
ribbon will receive a blue ribbon premium. Premiums will not be awarded to Clover Kids.
No exhibit will be awarded premium money that is not placed in one of the above groups by
the judge. An exhibit may be dropped one ribbon placing by the judge if the class require-
ments as stated in each class description are not fulfilled. Merit ribbons and grand and re-
serve champion ribbons do not receive additional premium money. Judges will select exhib-
its showing good use of resources, including time, energy, skills, and money to receive Re-
sourcefulness Awards (special stickers). No additional premium money will be awarded for
resourcefulness awards.
