Blue Ribbon Project Contest - Sponsored by Compeer Financial
Compeer Financial has announce the second year of their Blue Ribbon Project contest. Created last year as a way to support youth who had their local fairs cancelled due to COVID-19, they had an overwhelming response. Many fairs will resume this year but they may look a little different than they did in the past.
The Blue Ribbon Project contest encourages 4-H and FFA members to share their fair projects. Applicants will submit a picture of their project and a short description of how their project champions rural America.
The projects will be judged in three age groups 5-8, 9-13 and 14-18. There will be one winner in each age group for each marketplace (36 winners total). Projects will be judged on
How well they describe how their project champions rural America
Project enthusiasm and creativity
Correct grammar and spelling
Picture showing their project
Project difficulty and special considerations.
Entries can be submitted through www.compeer.com/blueribbon from April 15 to June 1, 2021.
The first 1,000 submissions will receive a free t-shirt. Each winner will receive $100 and $100 will go to a charity of their choice (4-H, FFA, fair organization or local food pantry).
Judging will take place June 9-16. There will be two judges per marketplace. Winners will be notified after June 17.
