0171 - Cotton Boll & Consumer Judging
Description
Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging is a competitive contest where 4-H’ers learn about cotton as an agricultural commodity in our state and promote cotton through commercials or advertisements. 4-H’ers gain skills in making rational decisions when purchasing goods and services while maximizing resources.
The contest comprises two competition areas: judging classes and advertisements/commercials. 4-H’ers are required to judge four classes of consumer items or services. Each class contains four similar items and has an accompanying situation statement. This statement describes a consumer and gives the needs to be considered when he/she decides to purchase the item. Factors influencing these needs may include the person’s age, gender, available money, lifestyle, school or job status, preferences, or other requirements that depend on the item given and the individual in the situation.
Practices will be held on Monday nights from 6PM-7PM, beginning September 28 and concluding with the Area Contest on November 2.
