Presentation Contest

Presentation ContestPr

4-H presenters teach their audience "How To" do something.  Your presentation may be on "How To" bake a cake, patch a bicycle tire, groom a horse, make an electric lamp, plant a garden, etc. (Note: Live animals may not be used.)

Every presentation has three (3) parts - the introduction, body, and summary.  In the introduction, tell who you are, what your topic is, and how and why you chose your topic.  In the body, tell and demonstrate how to do something.  In the summary, review the main points of your presentation and ask if there are any questions.  While posters have been the traditional visual aid- slides, tapes, transparencies, and any other means may be used. All work must be completed by the 4-H member.

The presentation should be appropriate for the age and experience level of the 4-H'er and sufficient in length (time) to cover the topic.  In most cases the time range will be: Juniors 2 - 5 minutes, Intermediates 5 - 10 minutes, and Seniors 10 - 15 minutes.

Presentation or Public Speaking are VRS Club requirements each year. You may pick one or do both. Our members have gone on to compete at district and state levels. Their growing confidence speaking to the public at various functions will follow them on through college and their desired careers.
