Competitions

Lowndes County 4-H currently competes in three judging competitions during the school year. They are described below! 


District Project Achievement

What is 4-H Project Achievement?

Project Achievement is a cornerstone 4-H program that helps 4-H'ers develop written and oral communication skills as they research a topic of interest, and give a presentation. The projects are then judged and the 4-Hers with the highest scores in their categories receive awards and/or scholarships. Participants must be 4-H members during the current year and enrolled in their county's 4-H program. Participants may choose from a variety of topic areas related to agriculture and STEM, citizenship, and healthy living.

7th-12th graders add a record keeping component (called a portfolio) that highlights the work they have done in their project area and community service.
