What do the winners receive as awards?

For the Junior and Senior Age Divisions, ribbons will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Places and Honorable Mention. Winning entries will be displayed on the NC 4-H Photography Contest webpage, premiere on the North Carolina 4-H Facebook site during National 4-H Week, and be on display during the NC State Fair as part of the NC 4-H Exhibit. The winning pictures and ribbons will then be returned to their 4-H county offices.

For the Adult Age Division, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and Honorable Mention “bragging rights” will be announced. Winning photographs will be displayed at the State 4-H Office for the contest year, then sent to the participant’s county 4-H Office.

Will the winners be announced in any newspapers?

This is up to the discretion of the individual or county 4-H professional to contact their local newspapers about any awards received in this contest.

Is there a “Best of Show” winner?

No, “Best of Show” winners are designated as such when the judges feel that a particular 1st place photo is clearly deserving of extra recognition. It is a great honor for the photographer and a real treat for the judges when we discover such an image!

Will participants receive a written critique of their entries?

Since the judges are asked to review a very large number of photo entries, they are not required to provide written critiques. We received over 300 entries last year and just don’t have the staff to individually critique each one.

North Carolina 4-H reserves the rights to use any of the photographs received for educational purposes and will give the photographer credit.
