It is time to get creative! Plan to enter the 2009 state 4-H poster art contest. All posters are entered in an open category that promotes 4-H. The rules are:
1. 14" x 22" poster board of weight stiff enough to stand alone. Please be sure to measure carefully! You will need to cut down a regular size piece of poster board. Larger or smaller posters are not judged and are disqualified from the contest.
2. Horizontal or vertical.
3. No 3-D or box designs.
4. Glued items must be flat. Collages/cutouts are okay.
5. No copyrighted or traced material. Original designs only.
6. Put your name, address, 4-H age, short identifying caption, and county on the back.
7. There are two age divisions - 12 and under and 13 and older by January 1, 2009.
Judges prefer bright colors and simple designs. So get your ideas together and let's see if Beaver County can have a winner. Posters are due to the office by June 1, 2009. They will be submitted to Penn State shortly after that.
If you have questions please contact Cindie to learn more.
