GENERAL

  • Open adult and open youth exhibitors who register and submit exhibits are considered amateurs who practice their craft for enjoyment and enthusiasm.

EXHIBITOR CLASSES 

  • Exhibitors are divided into the following groups: Open Youth, Open Adult, Cloverbud, Junior, and Senior.
  • Open exhibitors are all adults and youth that are not currently enrolled in Loudoun County 4-H. They are eligible for placement ribbons and premiums regardless of age.
  • There is only one open youth class (ages 8-15), and exhibitors shall base their ages as of September 30, 2024.
  • Cloverbud, Junior, and Senior exhibitors are youth members of Loudoun County 4-H clubs.
