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 then will write their essays about that career and the
details of their interview.
The Ontario provincial winner will win $500 and
the winner’s 4-H Association will receive $300. Two runners-up 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 should be viewed online at www.growmark.com (click on Our Commitments/Youth & Young
Farmers/Essay Contest/4H Ontario) or at www.4hontario.ca
The essay contest has been in place for 22
years, sponsored by the GROWMARK System and FS member
co-operatives, in conjunction with US state FFA leaders and 4-H Ontario, to help young people
develop their writing skills, learn about current issues affecting agriculture,
and understand the unique role of co-operatives.
