CONTESTS
DUDS TO DAZZLE
Click here for Duds to Dazzle Information.
During Duds to Dazzle, teams of 3 to 4 receive unknown textiles and each team has 60 minutes to create a new product to fit in the assigned category using items from the supply closet. The teams then present their item to a team of judges. This is very similar to the Food Challenge contest.

FASHION SHOW
Click here for Fashion Show Information.
The Fashion Show is designed for 4-H members to showcase their skills in buying and construction. You will create a clothing or fashion item, turn in paperwork explaining your item, complete an interview with a panel of judges, and last but not least, model the outfit on the runway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NATURAL FIBER CONTEST
Click here for Fashion Show Information.
The Natural Fiber contest is part of the Fashion Show. Members choose to buy or construct an outfit made from either cotton or wool/mohair/alpaca. You will exhibit what you’ve learned about cotton and wool/mohair.

STORYBOARD

The 4-H Storyboard is an industry-inspired method of displaying original designs. The storyboard “tells the story” of the designer’s idea. The storyboard includes original illustrations, flats, and more to promote the design. Now an Invitational contest for Senior members!
