What is a judging competition?
Judging is the evaluation of an exhibit and making a comparison to other exhibits in the class. Each class offers 10 minute of instruction by the judge, and 10 minutes for judging by the members. After evaluating each exhibit individually, a ranking is assigned to the entire class by both the members and the judge for that class. The goal of the members is to have their rankings match that of the judges. Judging is a fun way to hone your critical thinking skills and learn about what is involved in judging 4-H classes.
4-H Judging Guides can be obtained online here > Judging Resources
Oral Reasons:
Note: With the permission of your project leader participation in this event can count to fulfill the judging requirement of your livestock project.
