Presentation Day is perhaps the most important 4-H event of the year. Club members throughout the county are encouraged to participate.

Taking part in Presentation Day is excellent practice for learning public speaking and teaching skills. In fact, members who plan and present presentations are experiencing at least five important life skills: 1) Planning/Organizing, 2) Learning to Learn, 3) Critical Thinking, 4) Social Skills, and 5) Communication. The goal of this event is for every member who gives a presentation to feel good about the experience and feel recognized for his/her efforts.

Presentation Day includes the following presentation formats which require an Entry Form: Demonstration, Illustrated Talk, Audio-Visual Presentation, Educational Display, Prepared Speech and Interpretive Reading, Scientific Demonstration or Illustrated Talks, and Share the Fun Skits.

Entry Forms are available on the sb4h.org website and must be mailed/postmarked and/or faxed to the 4-H office no later than January 27, 2012. **Late entries will not be accepted – no exceptions.**

Descriptions and evaluation rubrics for each presentation format are available at sb4h.org. Complete information on how to prepare a presentation can be found in the 4-H Presentation Manual at ca4h.org. Please remember that all presentations must be based on a project that the youth is currently enrolled in through the Santa Barbara County 4-H Program.
