National 4-H Livestock Skillathon Contest

Entry Requirements

The National 4-H Competitive Events Guidelines and the National 4-H Livestock Skillathon Contest Rules and Regulations require numerous documents and signatures in order for a state's entry to be a completed entry submission for consideration into the Contest.

It is the absolute duty and responsibility of the named Coach and the State 4-H Office submitting the entry to fully read, understand the rules, regulations, guidelines and to complete and verify all the information is correct on the required documents and meets the entry criteria. Failure to do so risks either a 4-H contestant or the entire team's entry from being accepted.
