A New State 4-H Opportunity

 


We are excited to announce the Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge for 2021.  This contest challenges an individual or a team of two 4-H members to create a dish using a mystery basket of ingredients. The final dish should highlight the mystery basket ingredients and basic items they have at home. Individuals or team members must identify and prepare the dish, then make a presentation video about it.   The pre-determined mystery basket of ingredients will be available on June 18. One team from the 14-18 age group will be selected to attend the National 4-H Food Challenge in September in Texas.  We have mentioned this contest a few times but finally, have it ready to go live.  

This year the contest is a quick turnaround as we are hoping to take a team to the National Competition in September to help us learn how the National Contest works.  We are testing the waters to see what interest we have before we move to a face-to-face competition in 2022.  This year it is virtual and youth must upload a pre-recorded video.  We are using the same timeline as State 4-H Presentation Finals.  This contest is open to any 4-H'er who meets the requirements.  You must be registered in 4-HOnline to participate as well.  

Age Categories are:  8-10, 11-13 and 14-18.  The entry deadline is July 12, 2021.  Registration will be open in 4-HOnline by July 1 for youth to register and upload their videosClick this link for more information.
