What is the Design Contest?
The Design Contest is a sewing contest in which
the 4-H’er uses his/her imagination to change their outfit in someway to
express their creativity. During the contest, the 4-H’er is interviewed
by the judges and are asked a few simple questions about their outfit.
Then, the judges inspect the inside and outside of the garments. The
winner is chosen based on their construction, overall appearance,
creativity, and modeling of their outfit. The Design Contest Chairman
and the committee members select patterns for the contestants, one for
the girls & juniors and one for the boys, to use that year.
For changing the selected patterns, some suggestions are to vary the length of the garment, add or change pockets, add buttons, apply trim, embroidery, etc. There is a Fashion Show at the end of the Competition and awards are given out. Awards include:
-
Best of Show
-
1 Gold for the top winner in each category which are Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced
-
Most Creative
-
Best Construction
-
Best Outfit chosen by contestants.
