How Exhibits Are Judged
4-H uses the modified Danish system, judging entries against standard criteria as well as each other. Because of this, a first place is not guaranteed in every class, and single-entry classes do not automatically win first.
Indoor exhibits are a key part of the 4-H learning experience, and we are proud of the high quality shown by our New Mexico 4-H youth.
