Show Your 4-H Spirit Through Creativity!

The new 4-H year is underway, and we're inviting members to celebrate what 4-H means to them through the 4-H Spirit Bookmark Contest.

This fun and creative contest encourages members to design a bookmark that captures their personal 4-H experience. Your bookmark might showcase leadership, friendship, service, learning new skills, community involvement, a favorite project area, or a special 4-H memory. The goal is simple: show your 4-H spirit in a creative and meaningful way.

Entries may be hand-drawn or digitally designed and should be colorful, creative, and uniquely reflect your 4-H journey. Whether you're a first-year member or a longtime participant, this is a great opportunity to express what makes 4-H special to you.

Outstanding entries will receive special recognition, including awards for:

• Creativity
• 4-H Spirit
• Overall Design

All entries must be submitted by Friday, September 25, 2026

Need a starting point? Participants may create their own bookmark design or download the optional bookmark template below. The template is provided to help members get started but is not required for participation.

We can't wait to see the creativity and 4-H pride of our members on display. Start designing and show us what 4-H means to you!
