The Egg-cellent Egg Contest is $15 and is open to youth who have a flock of laying hens currently laying. However for Robeson County youth, thanks to our United Way Funds, we will only charge $10 per participant. All youth will be required to be enroll with 4-H Online if not already enrolled. Youth will be able to register for the contest using the link below (or on the app under programs) and can pay via Eventbrite. Participants who complete the project will receive a t-shirt. Cloverbuds will receive medals and older age categories will receive ribbons and award money if they get 1st-3rd place in one of the color/size categories.
The whole contest is virtual and there is a Google site that houses all of the information you will need. A link to the Google site will be sent to participants once registration is over. There are two mandatory trainings the participants must attend. You can join the live zoom or view the recording. If you view the recording, you will have to let your 4-H and/or livestock agent know when you have watched so you can get checked off.
Youth can submit up to 2 dozen eggs as long as they are in two different categories. There are three color categories (white, brown, blue/green) and multiple size categories. You will be given a date to drop your eggs off at the Extension office and we will get them to Raleigh for you.
