PROJECT JUDGING

Licking County 4-H Project Judging will take place on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at CTEC (150 Price Rd, Newark, OH 43055). All still projects (clothing, food, and special interest) will be judged on this day. Members must register for a judging appointment by 9:00am on Monday, July 7, 2025. You will need to complete a survey for each project that needs judged.

Before completing the registration, please review the list of which projects are being judged by each judge. You will need to know which judge will be judging your project before you complete the registration. You can view the list by Project Number or by Project Name. Once you know which judge number you will need for each project being judged, please complete the registration by visiting: http://go.osu.edu/licking4hjudging. Once you have completed the registration, within a few minutes you will receive an email with a summary of your response. If you do not see the email in your inbox, please check your spam/junk folder as that is where automatic responses often end up. If your child has more than one project to be judged, you will need to complete the survey for each project.

If you have more than one project, please pay attention when scheduling that you do not select the same time slot so that we avoid having members scheduled to be at two judges at the same time. We encourage you to make sure there is at least 1-2 time slots between your appointments to allow you time to leave your first judging appointment to come gather your project for your next judging appointment.

If you find that you need to change your judging appointment or you will no longer be attending judging, please reach out to Adrienne Anderson at anderson.1410@osu.edu so that we can open that appointment up for another member.
