***NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND SIGNATURE***
MICHIGAN 4-H -- YOUTH PROGRAMS YOUTH DEPARTMENT4-H, F.F.A, F.H.A. IMPORTANT RULES 1. Entry Forms and Stall Fees must be at the Fair Office by June 13. NOTE: Horse Entries are due June 12 or 13, according to the signup by the club leader. All forms/fees are submitted by the club's community Leader. No late comers will be able to show and just receive ribbons.
Premiums And Ribbons
1. All exhibits will be graded A,
B or C and will be given suitable ribbons and cash premiums. THE JUDGE'S RECORDS
ARE FINAL.
2. **NO JUDGE SHALL JUDGE ANY EXHIBIT IN WHICH SHE/HE HAS A FINANCIAL OR IMMEDIATE
FAMILY INTEREST**.
3. Premiums on all Classes in Departments 15-20 are as follows:
A - $3.00; B - $2.00; C - $1.00, unless otherwise specified.
4. All exhibits must be entered
by June 15, there will be no judging of exhibits which have not been entered.
5. All 4-H/FFA judging is done by the Danish system (A,B,C rating). This means that
exhibits are judged on their merits instead of against each other, and judges rate
each exhibit into A group (blue ribbon), B group (red ribbon), or C group (white ribbon).
This is not a 1-2-3 placing as such - every exhibitor gets a ribbon of some kind. There
is no rule as to the percentage of A, B, or C ratings given in any one area.
Although it is possible that all exhibits in a given class or division could get the same
rating (i.e., all blues, all reds, or all whites), it is unlikely for that to happen in
too many classes. In general, an exhibit would rate a blue award if it meets all or a high
percentage of the criteria accepted as the "standard of excellence" of quality
and/or workmanship. A red award group might contain those exhibits that were inconsistent
in the quality of the various characteristics or generally of average quality and
workmanship. A white award designates lower than average quality, or not a completed
project.
6. The Management reserves to itself the sole and absolute right to settle disputes and
misunderstandings arising out of premium awards or any phase of enterprise of the Fair
without claim for damages. A ribbon placed on an animal or article is no guarantee of
an award. We must be governed strictly by the records of the Judge's sheets.
7. Conference Judging: The purpose of conference judging is to further clarify the work
that was done by the 4-H member in projects, and what was learned. We consider this
interaction an opportunity for members to learn from the evaluator. If members cannot be
present for conference judging (in areas that have it), they are asked to notify the
superintendent as to the reason. In this case, we ask judges to evaluate the exhibit on
its own merits. In project areas where members are asked to sign up ahead of time for a
judging time slot, those who do so will be given priority for the appointment time over
members who simply show up - the walk-ins will be worked into the judging schedule.
8. In project areas that do not have conference judging, judges are usually available
after placings are recorded to discuss their evaluation with members who would like to
know more. This should be done in the presence of the Superintendent and the judge=s
placing will not be changed. Under no circumstances should a leader or a member or a
parent be confrontational, verbally harass, or argue with a judge or a Superintendent, nor
complain to people in the area. Complaints and suggestions are taken at 4-H Headquarters.
Please remember that showing at the Fair implies that you are asking for the judge=s
opinion and agreeing to accept it.
9. "Best of Show" may be awarded to up to 10% of the total entries
shown in a project area, at the judge's discretion. If, in their opinion
none of the exhibits should be recognized as "Best of Show", no such designation
should be given.
10. Cash premiums will be given according to placing marked in the judge's records and not
from ribbons that may be attached to Exhibits. The Judge's records are final and cannot be
changed.

1. 4-H, FFA, or FHA Exhibits,

Once a class has been placed and the judges’s card turned in, the envelope for the respective class will be opened and the "placing" Chase Showmanship Sweepstakes winner will be announced (either 2nd,3rd,4th or 5th). After this time, the winners of the class will be announced. The amounts awarded are subject to review and revision by the Ingham County 4-H Youth Program Awards Committee or successor awards decision- making process.
