The contest is open to all 4-H members enrolled in a small animal project - dog, cat, rabbit, pet care, or poultry (except embryology). If the member’s project is pet care, the pet must be a small animal. Examples of appropriate pets are cats, dogs, rabbits, cavies (guinea pigs), hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, birds, tropical fish, turtles, and snakes. Projects involving large animals do not qualify.
All entries should be titled “What I Have Learned in My 4-H Small Animal Project.” Some areas that could be discussed are what you do to take care of your animals, the animal care skills or knowledge you have learned or practiced, life skills you have learned or practiced, how you relate or apply skills you have learned to your behavior in life, and the leadership, citizenship and community service responsibilities you have assumed through these projects. Essays will be limited to 500 words and may be typed or handwritten. Do not exceed the word limit - your entry will be disqualified! Entries will be judged in three divisions: ages 8 to 10, 11 to 13, and 14 to 18 as of January 1st of the current year.
All entries must have 4-H member’s name, age, county, and complete mailing address clearly written on each essay. Entries must be at the Extension Office by June 1. For more information contact Cindie.
