State 4-H Clothing Revue
Clothing Revue includes entries for Buy & Show, Sew & Show, and Decorate Your Duds categories. Buy & Show participants purchase or recycle a major item of clothing which relates to a wardrobe plan. Sew & Show participants construct half or more of clothing that is modeled. Decorate Your Duds participants create embellishments for a garment or accessory.
The purpose of the State 4-H Clothing Revue is to help youth:
- build self-confidence and poise;
- make and model a garment that is needed in the wardrobe; and
- share knowledge and skill learned through 4-H Constructed Clothing Revue participation with others.
Who May Enter
Any youth enrolled in a 4-H project related to clothing and
textiles, ages 8 to 12 on September 1st (Pre-Teen)
and ages 13 to 18 on September 1st (Teen).
Award Schedule
County: Each
county may conduct a Clothing Revue and may select a total of
six members to participate in the North Dakota State Fair in
Minot. County awards are determined locally.
State: All entries at the State Fair will be awarded a ribbon. Outstanding overall presentations in each division will be recognized with Awards of Excellence.
Communication Arts Contest
The 4-H Communication Arts program:
- help participants develop communication skills that are useful throughout a lifetime;
- provide participants an opportunity to practice their skills before a group;
- provide participants an opportunity to gather and organize information, equipment and props for public presentation;
- develop participants' confidence in making public presentations; and
- evaluate and enhance communication skills.
The Communication Arts program is open to any youth involved in Extension youth programs. It includes two age divisions: the preteen division (youth 8 to 12 years-old before Sept. 1) and the teen division (youth ages 13 to 18 before Sept. 1), the start of the current 4-H year.
Counties and MPUs may offer a "recitation only" category for Cloverbuds. This category is noncompetitive and provides equal recognition for all participants.This optional category provides young participants an opportunity to make presentations without the task of finding or writing material and without the stress of competition. Recitation of the 4-H Pledge, Pledge of Allegiance or other simple verse is appropriate. Recitation is a participation (noncompetitive) event and may be available at a local, county or MPU event.
Levels of Involvement
Club: All 4-H members are encouraged to give a public
presentation at the club level.
County: Any youth can participate in the county or multicounty 4-H Communication Arts contest.
District: Ten district events are held. Each district consists of the group of counties in the multicounty program units (MPUs).
Additional information on the 4-H Communication Arts program is available through your local extension office.
State 4-H Consumer Choices Contest
Every day you make choices. It might be what you are going to eat, what you are going to wear, or what to buy. Consumer Choices teaches you how to make decisions based on information that you have learned and studied and on facts that you have collected. It can also help you learn to defend your decisions.
The 4-H Consumer Choices Contest can help you practice making decisions by matching your knowledge, skills and abilities against those of others. You will learn to rank articles or products over others based on standards and quality.
Consumer Choices is divided into three age categories: (Ages are as of September 1st of the current 4-H year. Check with your county extension office to see county policy on age categories.)
- Beginner - Ages 8, 9, & 10 (10 year-olds may participate in either the Beginner or Junior Age Division)

- Senior - Ages 14-19
