Some 4-H'ers are chosen each year
in special award categories. A book is presented to a 4-H'er with
outstanding work, quantity, quality, years, citizenship, leadership,
participation, skill acquisition and growth. These are given in
three age categories: 8-10 years of age, 11-13 and 14-19. A Blue
Award is given to a 4-H'er deserving of repeat recognition in a
category. In the 14-19 age category the medals are nationally
sponsored and may only be received once in each curriculum area.
The top award winners in the major award categories for 2010 are as
follows:
