Pinal County 4-H Divisions
The purpose of our Pinal County 4-H Fair is to provide members in good standing an opportunity to exhibit and participate in a
wide variety of 4-H contests and shows. All information necessary to exhibit in the Pinal County 4-H Fair is contained in this
exhibitor handbook. All 4-H entries will be entered in ShoWorks: http://pinal4.fairmanager.com/. The Virtual Fair will occur online.
Entries will be submitted, judged, and the results will be shared all online. By and large, entries for the virtual fair will be submitted as
photos, files, or videos at the time of registration. In some cases, where judging from a photo or video may not be possible,
judging will take place live, in according to CDC guidelines.

Entry Instructions
The DEADLINE for 4-H members to enter their exhibits for the 4-H Fair is March 8, 2021. All 4-H entries can be found at
ShoWorks http://pinal4.fairmanager.com/ until midnight on March 8, 2021.

Receiving, Judging and Releasing Exhibits
The Pinal County 4-H office, staff, and leaders are not responsible for the loss, damage, or theft of exhibits. Identification tags
(claim checks) will not be mailed to the exhibitor. Exhibitors submitting entries online must print tags for their items and
attach them securely. All exhibits must be tagged at home. No tags will be made at check-in. Leaders or volunteers bringing
entries for others in their group should make sure that exhibit tags are attached to each entry stating the 4-H member’s name,
division, and class number. Exhibitors or designated 4-H leaders are responsible to have Superintendent’s approval before
removing exhibits from MAC. The Danish system of judging will be used: Purple (Outstanding Quality), Blue (1 st Place), Red (2nd
Place), White (3rd Place), and Rainbow (CloverBuds).

Judging based on video. Some classes such as showmanship may require a video.
        • Exhibitors will be able to upload their video at the time of registration. Videos should be made following the
           instructions in the Entry Requirements section for that class.
        • For tips on how to create a good video, please see pages 4 and 5.

Judging based on photo(s). Some classes may require a photo.
        • Exhibitors upload as many photos as outlined in the Entry Requirements for that class to give the judge the best
           views of your project. Close up photos may help the judge see details of your project
        • For tips on how to take a good photo, please see pages 4 and 5.

At the time of registration, you will need to have all videos and photos ready to upload. All judges’ decisions are final.
