4-H
Dairy Poster Contest
The American Dairy Association of Alabama sponsors the 4-H Dairy Poster Contest.  The purpose of the contest is for 4-H'ers to learn more about milk, milk products, and milk production.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

The theme for the 2003 contest is:  "Savor the Flavor ... Drink Milk!".  Make a poster 14" x 22" about milk, milk products, or milk production using the theme.  Please do a little research on milk to make an educational point with your poster.  Write your name, grade, school, and teacher's name on the upper, right, back corner of your poster. NO POSTERS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT NAME OR WITH NAME ON FRONT OF POSTER.

DO NOT use cartoon characters or other symbols that are under copyright protection.  (Mickey Mouse, for example, is owned and copyrighted by the Disney Co.  Copyright means you cannot legally draw Mickey on your poster without written permission from the Disney Co.)

WHEN?

Posters will be due at your April Club Meeting.

JUDGING

Poster will be judged in a club contest and 1st place winners will be competing in a county contest.  The county judging will be in two divisions:  junior (9 to 14 yrs. old) and senior (14 yrs, by January 1, 2000 - up to age 19).
