Kick off the 2024-2025 4-H Year by participating in the 4-H Poster Contest. There are two types of poster contests that 4-H’ers can participate in: 1) Regular Poster Contest or 2) Digital Marketing Poster Contest.

All posters are due by Friday, October 4, 2024

Digital posters are to be submitted online using the button below, and all regular posters are due to your child's 4-H Club Leader or submitted to the 4-H Office.
