The Virtual Companion Animal Challenge offers a variety of 4-H companion animal contests that don’t require live animals, including a Demonstration Contest, Essay Contest, Art Contest, Photography Contest, Cat Trivia, and Dog Trivia. Youth have the opportunity to display their companion animal knowledge through these contests both as individuals and as part of a team.
Online entry forms are being used for 2021. Entry forms are found at https://go.unl.edu/vcac. Lancaster County 4-H Council will pay contest entry fees for Lancaster County 4-H’ers. Prior to submitting an entry form, save a copy and submit to the Lancaster County Extension Office or email a copy to 4-H Assistant Calvin DeVries at cdevries2@unl.edu by March 29 to have entry fees paid by Lancaster County 4-H Council.
