4-H PEI Judging Competition
Sponsored by P.E.I. Mutual Insurance Company
Judging plays an important role in 4-H activities and is a valuable skill to learn and use in everyday life. It enables members to explore various options and make informed choices based on their preferences and needs. Additionally, it fosters self-confidence and enhances public speaking abilities.
Understanding 4-H Judging
4-H Judging involves observing and comparing similar items within a category or class—whether they pertain to livestock or life skills—and ranking those items from 1st to 4th place. This engaging activity allows participants to develop their critical thinking skills while learning about the judging process for 4-H classes at fairs and exhibitions.
The 4-H PEI Judging Competition
Each class includes:
-10 minutes of instruction from the judge
-10 minutes for members to judge the classes
​
Following the evaluation of each class, both the members and the judge will rank the entries from 1 to 4. Members will present their oral explanations to the judge, detailing their reasoning behind the placings! The objective is for the members' rankings to align with those of the judges.
