2023 Judging Extravaganza Details
- Come-and-go Judging Extravaganza! Plan 2 - 2 1/2 hours to complete the entire experience.
- The event will open at 8:30 a.m. You cannot begin the experience after 11:30 a.m., but you do not have to be completed by this time (we'll wait for you to finish).
- Must be actively enrolled in 4-H in Kansas.
- Junior, Intermediate and Senior Divisions are based on age before January 1 of the current year. Juniors = 7-9 year olds; Intermediate = 10-13 year olds; Senior = 14-18 year olds. Cloverbuds can participate for experience only.
- Individuals complete a variety of judging contests specific to the registered age division. It is not required to complete judging in all project areas. Only individuals completing all contests will be eligible for overall awards.
- Team competition is optional. Register as an individual and note your team on the form or at event check-in. Team members can represent any age division, and they do not have to be from the same county or club. Teams must complete all eligible contests, and all members will be scored. Team members do not need to be present at the same time.
- There will be no reasons presentation required, and reasons will not contribute to contest scores. There will be an optional Reasons Skill-Builder activity to boost your communications confidence. The skill-builder will take approximately 15 minutes.
- No outside resources such as cell phones, study guides, or notes prepared in advance are allowed when you are judging.
- Individual and team prizes will be awarded and announced at a later date after scores are tabulated.
