4-H Exhibit Tags — Special Guidelines

We need every 4-H member to follow the following steps in handling your exhibit tags:

1. DO NOT DETACH or tear off any portion of the entry tag for any reason for any exhibit.
2. Enter your age on the exhibit tag if it is not already listed. This should be your 4-H age as of January 1, 2021.
3. Enter your “4-H Club” name on the tag if it is not already listed.
4. Securely attach tag to exhibit with best method using tape, string, or safety pin. Tags can be taped on the back side of posters, pictures, or frames. (DO NOT USE GLUE as tag will be removed to attach ribbon).
5. Please remember that exhibit guidelines request that all 4-H exhibits have a label on them that will help identify exhibit ownership and class should the tag become separated for any reason.
