Earlier this year the Ohio 4-H Foundation invited 4-H’ers to show off their talents by participating in our This is Ohio 4-H! photo contest. The contest featured six categories:
- Inspire curiosity
- Build lifelong skills
- Fuel adventure
- Grow leaders
- Uncover new career pathways
- Create lasting friendships                                    Â
We received some great submissions from 4-H’ers throughout the state and are excited to feature their photos in upcoming publications such as our annual impact report. View their photos below.

In this image, our club is participating in a service project by helping landscapers clean an area of our town. One of our advisors is showing the members new skills about landscaping that might benefit them in life.

Fuel adventure
Lydia Smathers, 16, Franklin County
This is our advisor, some parents, and a few club members pulling a stuck trash bag out of a trash can at our county fair. It might not look like much, but these are the people who really keep our club going! Pulling that trash bag out of the trash can was a gross and smelly job, but everyone was laughing the whole time. Our whole club is amazing because of the people who turn everything (even the worst jobs) into something fun!

Create lasting friendships
Jenna Horn, 17, Tuscarawas County
We decided to recreate the Friends photo since we are so close and had personalities just like the characters, but we were laughing so hard we ended up capturing this wonderful picture that truly describes our friendships and how close we are to each other.
