2023 General Project Judging
General Project Judging consists of a one-on-one interview with a project judge. Members will have 15 minutes to share their 4-H project with a judge, answer a few questions and receive feedback regarding his/her project. Those who participate in General Project judging have an opportunity to receive awards for placing 1st – 5th and be selected to represent Clermont County at the Ohio State Fair.
There are two different links to register; one link is for projects being judged on Tuesday, July 11th and the other link is for projects being judged on Wednesday, July 12th . You will need to fill out the survey separately for each project you are bringing to pre-fair project judging. Do not select the same time for more than one project and be sure to give yourself 15 minutes between interviews.
