The theme for this year’s 4-H Essay Contest is: “Exploring Careers in Agriculture.” The contest is open to all Ontario high school students who are members of 4-H.
This year, students are asked to choose a career in agriculture, find someone currently working in that career, and conduct an interview. Students will write their essays about that career and the details of their interview.
The Ontario provincial winner will receive $500 in award money and the winner’s 4-H Association will receive a $300 award. Two runners-up will each win $125.
Essays should be approximately 500 words, typed and double-spaced. The postmarked entry deadline for Ontario 4-H members is May 15. Additional program details can be viewed online at www.growmark.com (click on Our Commitments/Youth & Young Farmers/Essay Contest/4H Ontario) or at www.4hontario.ca.
