SENIOR
Part 1 – Composition Poster – County Contest Only
4-H’ers will be asked to bring 10 photographs (taken by the member) that represent different types of composition to the county contest. Members will use eight of these photos and their creativity to design a poster to show their knowledge of composition. Be sure to label each photo with the correct type of composition! Posters will be scored based on labeling the correct type of composition as well as neatness. Members will be provided with a 14×22 posterboard, writing utensils (markers, colored pencils, etc.), stickers, construction paper, and scissors to help them create their poster.
**Posters will be returned after the contest so members can enter them in the State Fair as a Photography exhibit. **
More Information can be found on pages 6-10 of this document and in Book 2 – Next Level Photography p. 36-56.
Please note: There will be no make-up Skill-A-Thons for the 2025-2026 4-H year.
