There will be two Categories with two divisions in the competition. New this year is a non-competitive category for Primary members to participate in at the event. (No awards other than participation acknowledgement is given to Primary members.)
Category One will be for members reading or using a written version of the Creed.
Category Two will be for members reciting the creed from memory.
Category Three will be for Primary members (reading or memorized)

Categories One and Two will be split into two Divisions
Division One = 4th grade or 9 years old through 8th grade.
Division Two = Presently attending High School.

There will be a Danish system of judging. There will be County Winner (Medalist) potentially awarded in each Category and Division. To receive the medal, the presentation must warrant county winner status. If you were a County Winner (Medalist) last year, you must 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 questions that could be asked is at the link above.

Do you know the 4-H Creed? It really is something all of our members should know.
