Registration for the Junior Master Photographer training scheduled for September 26 is now active on 4HOnline. As in the past, youth must have an active enrollment in order to register.

Junior Master Photographer/Photography Ambassador Workshops
The Texas 4-H Junior Master Photographer (JMP) program provides advanced instruction to photography enthusiasts. As a Junior Master Photographer, youth will be expected to return to their counties and districts to serve as teen leaders for the project. Additionally, Junior Master Photographers may be called upon by the County Extension Agent or 4-H Specialist to serve as photographers for various 4-H events and activities. Only dedicated photography project youth wishing to expand their knowledge as well as service to others should apply for this opportunity. In other words, youth do need to have a good working knowledge of their camera prior to attending this advanced training.
To be a certified Junior Master Photographer, candidates must:
· Be in 7th – 12th grade
· Attend BOTH Workshop I and Workshop II
· Complete a competency test with a minimum score of 80%
· Submit four photos taken by applicant demonstrating understanding of instruction
· Participate in at least one practice event
· Complete a photography community service activity
· Take part in at least two organized project experiences
Although there is no yearly performance requirement, Junior Master Photographers are expected to return to counties and districts to help expand their photography programs. They receive the Junior Master Photographer pin and certificate. Certified JMPs in 9th grade are eligible to apply to the State 4-H Photography Ambassador Program.
The JMP training consists of two one-day workshops. Below are the details for both:
JMP Workshop I
Date: Saturday, September 26

Just wanted to give a quick update that in accordance with the Travis County stay at home order, we will continue work from home through December 15th.
Due to this, I will work on mailing out all the ribbons for the 2020 Travis County Photography contest over the next week or so. Thank you for your patience in this process as we all learn to navigate this "new normal."
Just wanted to say congratulations to Luke Mash of Discover 4-H for completing the BSA Eagle Project. The project was raised garden beds in front of St. Ignatius, Martyr’s food pantry. Let's give thanks to those who are out helping others during this global pandemic. People like Luke truly make a difference!
Please note that although the new version of 4-H Connect called 4-H Online is currently up, it is recommended to wait until September 1st, 2020 to enroll as there are some issues still being worked out in the new system. Thank you for your patience.
EDIT: Due to popular demand, this event is now full. Thank you for your interest.
