POSTER REQUIREMENTS

Poster projects shall be exhibited on a 22 x 28-inch poster board displayed horizontally and covered with clear, protective plastic, (it should not be in a poster

frame) unless otherwise stated in the project manual. The poster MUST be mounted on a firm backing to add stiffness for exhibiting. A single sheet of poster board is not stiff enough to stand erect. Pre-cut foam core board, the correct size is available for purchase from the Extension Office.

All poster projects, notebooks, scrapbooks, entomology boxes, and educational displays must use the label provided by the Extension Office on posters, boxes, and displays. These labels must go in the lower right-hand corner. The labels are 4 ¼” wide X 5 ½” tall. It is recommended to leave space for the labels. Mini 4-Hers may also use these for their exhibits.

Poster Display: Posters that are the wrong size, incorrectly oriented, not covered with a clear plastic covering (geology members may add this after judging), or mounted on a stiff backing, will be marked down one ribbon.

ALL Posters, Notebooks and Display Boards: All posters, notebooks, and display boards must include a reference list indicating where information was obtained, giving credit to the original author, to complete the 4-H member’s exhibit. This reference list should/might include web site links, people and professionals interviewed, books, magazines, etc. It is recommended this reference list be attached to the back of a poster or display board, be the last page of a notebook, or included as part of the display visible to the public.
