Registration is now open for Statewide Presentations and Public Speaking Contests!

These are two separate contests but will be offered on the same date. Youth may participate in both presentation and public speaking contests.

The Presentations Contest is designed to challenge 4-H’ers skills and knowledge of giving demonstrations and to recognize their abilities in giving public presentations. A presentation is on a project-related topic that you share your knowledge by teaching or physically demonstrating how to complete a certain phase of a project. Presentations can be given by an individual or a team of 2 members (in the same age division).

The Public Speaking Contest is designed to support the county public speaking program, challenge 4-H’ers skills and knowledge in public speaking, instill an understanding of the need for communication skills and improve speaking skills. Public speaking is a prepared speech with no props or visuals.
