Regional & State Project Bowls
Our second most attended event all year is the Project Bowl competition. Patterned after the golden-oldie television show "College Bowl", it challenges teams of 3-6 youth on their knowledge of 4-H project areas: Dairy, Dog, General Livestock, Horse, Lama, Poultry, Rabbit, Wildlife.
There are four Regional Project Bowls, followed by the State Project Bowl. Each has two divisions: Junior (grades 3 - 8) and Senior (grades 4 - 4-H graduation). Regional winners advance to the State Project Bowl and state winners in dairy, general livestock, horse, poultry and wildlife go on to national contests.
Get your friends together, recruit a coach, study hard, and ... most of all HAVE FUN during the Project Bowl season!

T-Shirts & sweatshirts
Back this year - T-shirts and sweatshirts will be for sale at the State 4-H Project Bowl! The official design is still being drafted by Northwest Designs, but at previous State 4-H Project Bowls, 4-H members were able to have their names on the back of the shirts with a star by their name. Bring some extra money ... you may want to buy a shirt! The MN 4-H Project Bowl Program receives a portion of the sales.
Reminder: if your team qualifies for the State Project Bowl, you must sign up BEFORE you leave the Regional Project Bowl. If you do not sign up before you leave the Regional Project Bowl site, you will forfeit your state trip.
Winners of the State Project Bowl in dairy, general livestock, horse, poultry and wildlife will advance to the national contests.
