County Record Book Competition recognizes 4-H members for excellence in completing their project and leadership records over the program year. To be eligible, record books must have been submitted to the county office by 8/18/2026.

Submitted books are reviewed at the county level for completeness, accuracy, and overall quality of work. This process highlights member growth, effort, and achievement while reinforcing important life skills such as responsibility, organization, and reflection. Awards are determined based on county evaluation standards.

Each club submitting record books is also required to provide one evaluator for every three record books submitted.
