(http://igrow.org/up/resources/01-4000-2014.pdf)
Youth should not promote any particular product or brand name during their presentation.
Ingredients or supplies should be from original containers or packaging. When this isn't practical (e.g.,
flour), participants should place the product in labeled clear plastic container.
Presentations may have been prepared during the 4-H year and given previously in school, during
extracurricular activities or to service organizations; however, youth must alter the presentation to in-
clude and relate it to their 4-H projects and/or their 4-H experiences. In their delivery:
о 4-H members must use the word "4-H" and state the specific 4-H project or program.
о
о
4-H members must state how their content teaches the listener or audience about a specific 4-H
project(s) or program.
EXAMPLES: "I am enrolled in the 4-H Beef Project. Today I will tell you what I learned about
proper nutrition for my market steer through my 4-H project work." "Today my illustrated talk on
Nutrition Fact or Fiction falls under the Foods and Nutrition Project and the Health Project. I will be
sharing with you what I have learned from both of these 4-H Project areas on how good nutrition
leads to a healthy life."
4-H Public Presentations are all timed events. In the case the presentation is under the minimum or
over the maximum time requirement 3 points will be deducted from the participants score.
PRESENTATION TYPES AND CRITERIA
Demonstration - Maximum Length: 25 minutes - Individual or Team
Presented before an audience, a demonstration is an accurate step-by-step process of actions and expla-

may include charts, illustrations, posters, and other types of visual aids.
Illustrated Talk - Maximum Length, 25 minutes - Individual or Team
Presented before an audience, an illustrated talk is original, true and accurate information showing how
something is accomplished using a combination of speaking about and showing one or more visual aids
(e.g., Power Points, charts, pictures, slides, models, miniatures or real objects, flannel board, flip charts,
chalkboard, drawings, and cutouts). Personal, family or club experiences may be used. In the Illustrated
Talk, there is no finished product; rather, an explanation of results that is illustrated with visuals.
Project "Why" - Repeats Several Times during a One Hour Period - Individual or Team
This type of presentation teaches the "why" as well as how to "use" a specific topic (it is not neces-

sound research, facts, principles, and experiments, this presentation type informs others of the "why."
It should encourage, excite and motivate curious minds to study the topic further. 4-H members prepare
a 3 x 3-foot exhibit to use for accurately explaining a true "why" principle. Participants must furnish all
