After hearing the presentation, the audience should be able to put information into practice to improve their production, management, training, or horse use/knowledge and/or skills.

  • Promote 4-H – The purpose of this contest is to encourage 4-H members to develop promotion and marketing skills as they market and interpret 4-H through various types of media and presentations, increase the promotion of 4-H to non-4-H audiences in Texas, and increase the number of people who join and support the 4-H program.  The 4-H promotion should convey a contemporary image of 4-H in a changing society. Promotional methods include:  radio, television, illustrated talks, method demonstrations, newspaper, posters, projected images, exhibits, photographs, slide/tape presentations, puppets, PSA’s, speeches, drama, skits, videos, computer programs, etc.
