Cape May County 4-H Summer 2020 Virtual Fun Contests

In addition to the state virtual fair, Cape May County 4-H hosted its own series of fun summer contests. 4-H members were challenged with scavenger hunts, tee-shirt design, creative record book judging, 4-H themed Tik Tok videos, and 4-H Club Gardens contests.
4-H Record Book Judging Contest
4-H members work hard all year long on a record book that is judged during the annual 4-H Fair. With no regular fair this summer, the 4-H Record Book Judging Contest gave 4-H’ers the opportunity to turn in their record book or create a different kind of record book, such as a PowerPoint, video essay, or a scrapbook.
Congratulations to Emma Gotwols, of the Tightlines 4-H Fishing Club, who won the Record Book Judging Contest! Emma received a ribbon and a special 4-H prize.
T-Shirt Design Contest
Every youth member who entered a 4-H Summer 2020 Virtual Fun Contest or the NJ State Virtual 4-H Fair is receiving a commemorative t-shirt with the artwork of the winner of the T-Shirt Design Contest.  The theme, chosen by 4-H club leaders, was “We’re all in this together! CMC Summer 2020 Virtual 4-H Fair.”
Autumn Richards’ drawing was selected to be on the special tee-shirt and she received a $25 gift card to the 4-H Mall.
The Runner Up was Eddie Hoover and Honorable Mention went to Caitlin Schaffer and Maya Wenger. Congratulations to everyone!
4-H Club Gardens Contest
The 4-H Club Gardens Contest was a voluntary contest for clubs with gardens on the Cape May County 4-H Fairgrounds. Although the weather did not cooperate during the scheduled week of judging, we want to thank Canvas & Brush, Tightlines, Science Rocks, and the Kitchen Phanatics 4-H clubs for practicing social distancing while working hard on their gardens.
4-H Tik Tok Video Contest
One of the most unique summer fun contests was the 4-H Tik Tok Video contest, where participants were asked to choose from 3 categories: How did you pass the time during the quarantine, 4-H Theme, or Animal-Related, and create a short Tik Tok video. All of the winners received trophies.
