2010 -2011 District Guidelines

The 2010 - 2011 District Photography Guidelines have been posted. Please, visit the site and print out the guidelines. They will follow the state guidelines with just a few exceptions, so please view them carefully.

The Theme for this year is "Clover." This theme allows 4-H members to take photos of
all types of clover(s). Examples include: clover(s) in nature, painted clover(s),
unique clover(s), 4-H Clover, anything that has a clearly noticeable clover(s) in it will be considered acceptable.

Fees for the District Contest are $5.00 for the initial photo and $0.50 for each additional photo.

The deadline to turn in photos for District is February 4th. Photos you intend to send to District MUST be in the Extension Office by 5:00 pm that day. Please, remember to e-mail the photo to Willie, or submit a CD along with photos, so we can get them to the District Office by the February 11th deadline. Also, you must register with 4-Connect by February 11th to compete.

You do not have to be present at Round Up in April to compete.

Remember, the point of this project is to learn how to take better photos and HAVE FUN.

Just a reminder that the next photography workshop is scheduled for January 6, 2011. We will meet in the Extension Office at 6:30 pm. We will be demonstrating how to mount the photos at this meeting as well.

The holidays are "Picture Perfect" photo opportunities

The holidays are approaching quickly. :-) This is a wonderful time to practice getting pictures of friends and family (people) and all of that wonderful food. Yes, there IS a food category this year! :-)


Please look at the right of the page and under "Curriculum and Resources" you will find the new state guidelines for 2011. The county contest will follow these guidelines with the following exceptions:


1. There is NO entry fee for county
2. You may use 4X6 photos
3 Clover kids are welcome to participate

Please, be sure to look at the guidelines closely. There are a lot of new categories this year, and some old ones have changed or been removed. Also, they are only allowing 1 photo per category this time, regardless if it is black and white or color. So, choose your photo wisely. :-)




I will post the district guidelines as soon as we get them. Most importantly HAVE FUN!!!! :-) Mark your calenders for the next workshop scheduled for January 6, 2011. We will meet in the Extension Office at 6:30 pm.

Workshop and County Contest Information

Hello, Everyone :-)

Well, a new 4-H year is underway. It's going to be a great year!! :-)

OK, there are two workshops set for this year.

1. October 4th - 6:30 pm at the County Extension Office.

2. January 6, 2011 - 6:30 at the County Extension Office.

The County Photography contest has been set for the week of January 18th - 22nd. They will be displayed at the Jacksonville Public Library again this year. :-)

The deadline to enter the county contest is January 14, 2011. Have them to Willie at the Extension office by 5:00 pm that day.

I will post the guidelines, etc. as soon as they are up on the county website. :-)

There has been one addition to the categories. This year there is a "Miscellaneous" category. That means if you take a photo, and it does not fall under any other category already listed, then you can put it in this category. This will be color or black and white, just like the other categories. :-)
