State Fair Entry: – Grand Champion is a State Fair Entry under Crafts

** Fair Entry – You MUST register your 4-H project in Fair Entry if you plan to exhibit at the 4-H Fair. See page 21! **

Basic requirements for all levels:

Level A (Grades 3-4)

Complete 4 pages. Include 4 different skills or techniques.

Level B (Grades 5-6)

Complete 6 pages. Include 6 different skills or techniques.

Level C (Grades 7-9)

Complete 8 pages. Include 8 different skills or techniques.

Level D (Grades 10-12)

Complete 10 pages. Include 10 different skills or techniques.

Each album must have front and back covers with pages firmly attached between the covers. The album size should be 8-1/2” x 11” OR 12” x 12”. It must have archive-safe plastic sleeves or covers.
Each scrapbook must have a skills card filled out and presented at the time of check-in. Do not attach it to the book.
Each scrapbook must have the required number of pages for your level completed for judging. Completed pages must contain photos or memorabilia, documentation, journaling, decoration, etc. Incomplete or unfinished pages will not be judged or count toward the required number of pages.
Each scrapbook album must have a label (with your name, grade, and level) attached with a string. This label must also include the page numbers that the 4-H member wishes to have judged. The page numbers need not be written on the actual page – rather, you should count the first page as page 1 and proceed onward. If you do not indicate the pages you wish to have judged, the judge will start at page 1 and continue through the page number required for your level. The pages may also be listed by the page title, if desired.
Photos and memorabilia must be included in each scrapbook, but not necessarily on each page. Some pages may contain only photos, while others may contain only memorabilia. Be sure to include a variety in your list of pages to be judged. At least 1 piece of memorabilia should be included in your required pages. Memorabilia should be encased in a separate plastic sleeve if added to a page with photos. If a photo is included on a page with a lot of memorabilia, the photo should be encased in a separate plastic sleeve. Newspaper articles should be photocopied onto acid-free paper or sprayed with archival spray.
Neatness counts!
Keep in mind the proper placement of photos, etc., in your album. Your scrapbook is telling a story. Use chronology (putting things in order of occurrence as they happened) and/or themes to organize your scrapbook.
Be sure materials you use are safe for your photos. Do not use ballpoint pens and/or pencils, crayons, markers, magnetic albums, construction paper, or any adhesives that are not photo safe.
To display your scrapbook exhibit at the county fair, enclose it in a poster sleeve. These are available in the Extension Office.
