Registering for Presentation Events

If you have been awarded a gold or blue seal in a Regional Presentation Event, you may register for the same presentation category for which the seal was awarded.

For a qualified Team Presentation, ALL of the presenters must register and be present to participate. For Share the 4-H Fun Skits, fewer team members may be present, but teams cannot add new members.

If you are registering as part of a team, please make sure to list your team members in your registration. All team members must sign up for the same time slot. 

The only categories that do not require pre-qualification at a Regional Presentation Event are: Infographic and Video Essay.

Each participant may register for one qualified presentation, one qualified Share the 4-H Fun Skit, and either Infographic or Video Essay.

Public speaking skills are ranked number one among the desired skill sets of professionals. Every 4-H member is encouraged to give a presentation each year. A 4-H presentation can be a demonstration, include audio-visual aids, and involve problem solving. Through their presentations, youth learn to research a subject, organize their ideas into a logical order and practice public speaking skills. See quick tips on presentation types and requirements

All requirement from the 4-H Presentations Manual apply.
