This year’s 4-H Table Setting Contest will be held virtually. Open to all 4-H’ers ages 8–18. Need not be enrolled in a specific project.
A how-to handout, "4-H Table Setting Virtual Contest – Procedures and Guidelines" is available online and at the Extension office. This handout includes virtual entry information. All participants are strongly encouraged to read the handout.
Register by Monday, July 13, 4:30 p.m. by calling the office at 402-441-7180. You must give the age of youth (by January 1 of the current year) and category (picnic, casual, formal or birthday) they will be entering. There is no entry form.
Families must record TWO videos of the 4-H’ers Tablet Setting and submit by Monday July 20, 11:59 p.m. Youth should dress in costume and prepare as they would for an in-person contest.
The first video (30 seconds to 1 minute overall view) should show the overall view of your table and you in costume. Prepare your table and dress as you would if it was an in-person contest. This video may be viewed by the judge and public (see Public Online Table Setting Showcase on page 3 of the handout).
The second video will be your 5-minute presentation for the judge. This video will NOT be viewed by the public.
