Regional Presentation Event

Regional Presentation Events

The 4-H Presentation Program is designed for 4-H members ages 9 to 18. The system of county, regional, and state 4-H presentation events supports youth 4-H members (aged 9 to 18) in practicing and improving their public speaking skills.

4-H members ages 9 to 18 present at Presentation Events to receive feedback and an award.

Each county organizes a County 4-H Presentation Event between January through last weekend in March.

If you receive a Gold or Blue award at the county level, you are encouraged to present in the Regional 4-H Presentation Event between March through the April 19, 2025.
- Presenters must give the same presentation in the same category in which they qualified at a County Presentation Event.

If you receive a Gold or Blue award at a Regional Presentation Event, you may present at the State 4-H Presentation Event at State Field Day in May. Presenters must give the same presentation in the same category in which they qualified at a Regional Presentation Event.

Upcoming Virtual Regional Presentation Time-Slots: April 14 - April 24, 2025

To ensure an appropriate evaluator-to-presenter ratio, we are modifying our presenter registration process. We will open Evaluator registrations in February. Presenter registration will be contingent on the number of evaluators already registered. Starting on March 5, 2025, and continuing every Wednesday through April 16, 2025, at 6 PM, we will release presenter slots for youth participants based on the number of evaluators we have registered. Registration for presenter slots will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
