Guide for Awards/Recognition Presentations

 

MPU 4-H Communication Arts Program


 

 

The following is a suggested guide to use at the awards/recognition presentation for MPU 4-H Communication Arts events:

 

1.        Welcome to 4-H members, parents, leaders, sponsors, judges and guests

 

2.   Introduction of judges at assembly

 

3.   Comments from a judge representing each category: demonstrations, illustrated talks, public speaking, interpretive reading, dramatic presentations, short take, broadcast, commercial, presentation software, video production, web site design and 4-H promotion.

 

4.   Describe procedure:

·         All participants will receive a gift. Please remind them to look at the sponsor list and send thank you's.

·         One first place winner in each category will be identified by judges in preteen and teen divisions. These participants will receive a purple rosette ribbon. Youth identified for outstanding presentations will receive an honorable mention ribbon (maroon colored rosette). Honorable mention is not intended to become recognition for second place winners.

·         Teen first place winners in each category will receive an envelope containing instructions for attending Extension Youth Conference (June 16-19, 2008). Please encourage them to respond to this information within a few days of receiving it.

·         If teen first place winners cannot attend Extension Youth Conference, they may choose to accept a $50 savings bond. That information is enclosed in the letter and the bond request form must be returned by July 15.  

·         Location of photos after assembly.

 

5.   There are no ribbon awards for Cloverbuds on MPU Level.

 

6.   Introduce any sponsor who will help make awards and indicate sponsorship of the program.

 

7.   Indicate sponsor for each category before participants are recognized and winners announced (if any representatives of sponsors are present, have them recognized).

 

All categories are sponsored by ND Rural Electric Cooperatives, ND 4-H Foundation, ND Beef Commission, Cenex Harvest States foundation and ND Turkey Federation.

 

8.   Thank you's to members, parents, leaders, sponsors, people responsible for the facility, and judges.
