Please see the following update regarding the State Photography Contest:
"Good afternoon colleagues,
Some have asked about the status of the Texas 4-H state
photography contest, so I thought it best to send out an email with
details.
Registration will continue as scheduled. It will open
on 4-H Connect April 1 and close on April 15. The judging of the photos
will not take place until mid-May, and awards will be distributed in
June. Due to the ongoing circumstances, we will adjust the timeline
listed in the rules for approvals and payments to the following:
·
County
Entry Approval Deadline: April 29, 2020
·
Payment
with a 4-H county or club check is due by May 15, 2020
o
(it
is highly recommended
to turn the “pay by check” option off so that you can minimize person-to-person
contact during this time period). Instructions on how to turn on/off that
feature: LINK
o
You will need to do this prior to April
1 for it to be
in effect for youth as they begin to register.
o
To
only accept credit card payments, leave the “Electronic Payments” box checked
and uncheck the “County/Club Check” option.
As a reminder, counties may only enter 1 photo per
category. We understand that some counties may not have been able to have
a qualifying contest to determine the photos that advance. If that is
your case, I have attached instructions on how you can view all photos your
members enter so that you can have those evaluated locally before approving
registrations in Connect.
If you have questions or need additional guidance, please
let me know.
Take care,
Derrick Bruton, M.S.
