Review the Exhibitor Guide before selecting classes.
Verify the exhibitor's 4-H age division.
Select the correct department, division, class, and lot for each exhibit.
Most static exhibit departments require one Exhibitor Statement per department, regardless of the number of exhibits entered. Your statement helps the judge understand your project and may be considered during judging.
