All poster boards must be backed with foam board for display purposes. This can be
done after making the poster or the poster can be made directly on the correct sized (14” x 22”) foam board.

 

Posters may be horizontal or vertical. Poster may be produced by any medium —
watercolor, ink, crayon, acrylic, charcoal, collage, computer, etc. — Posters must be
flat. Do not use 3-dimensional pieces on posters. Posters will be judged on 1)
educational idea portrayed, 2) public appeal, and 3) creative and original ability
presented. Copyrighted or trademarked cartoon characters or other designs must not be used due to copyright restrictions.

 

For display purposes, exhibitors are encouraged to laminate all posters or cover them with clear plastic film. Posters must be signed and dated on the back with a
permanent marker before laminating. If not marked, the judging committee may
mark or punch. All posters must be flat (no 3-dimensional posters). Text of posters
should be readable from at least 10 ft. away.

 

Note: Posters in section this section MUST include the 4-H Clover or mention 4-H.
Posters in other sections/classes are encouraged to but are NOT required to include
the 4-H Clover or mention 4-H unless requested in section/class description.

 

When using the official clover with H's, the tail should curve to the right and the
words 18 U.S.C. 707 must appear under the lower right leaflet, unless poster and
clover are hand drawn. For more information on proper use of the 4-H clover please refer to 4-H Clovers and Emblems page.
