Texas 4-H Dog Photography Contest
When the Management Team cancelled the Texas 4-H Dog Show,
it was decided to expand the opportunity to participate in the Dog Photography
Contest. This contest is open to any enrolled 4-H member. To enter
go to https://walker.agrilife.org/4h/texas-4-h-dog-show-photography-contest/
. The Management Team has determined to waive the entry fee. Entry
deadline will be July 1, 2020. If you submitted photo to the Texas 4-H
Dog Show Photography Contest, please re-submit them in this system.
The Management Team is anxious to see the fun, creative ways you find to showcase your photography skills and the dog project.
To help with processing, please name your photos with the
following format: Category, Exhibitor’s Last Name and First
Initial. For example, if Suzy Clover was entering a photo into the
“Theme” category, the photo would be named “theme.clover.s” Siblings with
the same initials may want to use the whole first name.
The categories have also expanded to include:
Dog Still Life – Dogs alone or in a group which are posed
or not moving. Such photos should focus on participation in the companion
animal project.
Dog Active – Dogs alone or in a group which are
active. Such photos should focus on participation in the companion animal
project.
Storyboard – A storyboard is one digital entry that
contains 3 to 5 photos and minimal text that tells a story. The story
should pertain to the companion animal project and should be easily understood
by the viewer. Examples include: Three (3) images depicting a dog
competing in different stages, with the title “Grand Champion:
Theme – “Promote 4-H Dog Project should contain photo that
promote the 4-H Dog Project.
Funny Dog – Capture your dog doing silly things, dressed up
or any other dog photo that would bring a smile or laugh to the viewer.

The Management Team is anxious to see the fun, creative ways you find to showcase your photography skills and the dog project.

Texas 4-H Dog Show Entry Deadline Extended
In line with other registration
extensions, the Texas 4-H Dog Show and Auxiliary State Dog Show entry deadline
will be extended until May 22, 2020 with NO late fee. We will not be
approving any entries at the State level until we confirm we are having the
show. This means the entry fee will NOT be charged to your account until
it is approved. The Management Team will meet shortly after this deadline
to evaluate the situation and make a determination to host the show or not.
Texas 4-H Auxiliary Dog Show Entry Instructions
Dog Show
Photography, Non-Validated Dogs (Foster/Family Dog Program) and 4-H Dog
Project Leaders
will enter using the Auxiliary Texas Dog Show Registration. It has
been open on 4-H CONNECT. The show will be held at the Walker County
Fairgrounds in Huntsville, Texas on July 10-11, 2020. The deadline
for registration is May 8, 2020. From May 9th -15th
, late registration will be open for a $50 late fee. DO NOT wait until
4:55 on the last day to enter. It will be difficult for your County
Extension Office to help you if you run into problems.
If you didn’t validate a dog project,
there are still a couple of ways you can participate in the 2020 Texas 4-H Dog
Show. The Photography Contest and the Foster/Family Dog Program.
There is also an avenue for dog project leaders to register to help.
To register you will go through 4-H
CONNECT,
STEPS TO ENTER:
- Select
your browser. Most successful is Mozilla Firefox. Most problems
occur when Explorer is used.
- Go to the
Register a Member In An Event box at the bottom of your 4-H CONNECT
profile.
- Once you select
a member, look for 2020 Auxiliary Texas 4-H Dog Show in the event box.
- Youth will see two options
Photography Contest Only - Select this if you only want to do Photography
Foster Family Dog
- Select this one if you have a Foster Family Dog and Photography
- Adults will see
an Adult Registration option where they can sign up to help. This is
specifically for our project leaders who do not have their own children
participating in the show. If a project leader has their own child
participating in the show, they can do this process through that entry.
Texas 4-H Dog Show Photography Contest
The Photography
Contest entries have 2 steps.
1. Mark the categories you want to enter on the first list.
2. Upload your photos in the corresponding box below the initial
list.
Formatting your Photograph: Each photograph
must be formatted in a jpg file to where it can be printed at 300 dots per inch
(dpi) at a 3 inch X 5 inch size. File must not be over 1.5 MB in size to
upload.
Labeling/Naming
your Photograph: Each photograph will need to be clearly labeled with the name
of the category, 4-H member’s last name, and first initial (see below for
label name). For example: A 4-H member entering the Dog – Still Life category
would label their photography as: Dog.Still Life_qtee.s (Dog.Still Life is the
category file label name and qtee.s is the 4-H member’s last name and first
initial).
Pass the word to
your friends outside the project. They don’t have to own a dog to enter
the photography contest. They will go through the 2020 Auxiliary Texas 4-H Dog
Show event registration. Parents and Project Leaders can also register as
adults for the show through Auxiliary registration. The only
selection for adults will be signing up to help with various tasks. Be
sure to pass this information along to your project leaders.
Foster/ Family Dog
Program
-
- You will enter the name, breed(s) and birth date of the dog you are entering
- Mark
the event(s) for that dog. This registers you for the event and will open
class selection in the next section.

Scroll to the next section. Here you will be given the option to select
the specific class in the event you entered.

you have selected the classes for this dog, you will enter any photos following
the instructions above.

another dog to enter, click “Save and Add New Entry”. With the new entry

submit, it will first go to the county level, where your County Extension Agent
or support staff will approve them. If you have made a mistake or need to
make a change, contact them to kick it back for you to correct. The charge
will not go through until the entry is approved at the State level.
The rules
are available at http://texas4-h.tamu.edu/dogshow
Since the
Foster/Family Dog Competition rules are included in this e-mail. In
addition to fostering a dog, if you have recently adopted a dog or discovered
4-H this is an opportunity to get some show experience.
Foster/Family Dog
Competition Rules
Dogs with home
environment experience that are well mannered are more adoptable. Some families
may not be able to make a long term commitment to dog ownership. In an effort
to promote and encourage 4-H members to participate in this service learning
project, the Foster/Family Dog program was developed. Patterned after other
states programs, it offers the opportunity to showcase some of the community
service projects 4-H members have been doing allowing more members to
participate.
1. Subject to
the Texas 4-H Dog Show Rules EXCEPT ownership/certification guidelines.
2. Handler
and dog team is only eligible for the Foster/Family Dog program for one year. A
dog that has been previously validated is not eligible for the Foster/Family
Dog program.
3. Classes
open to Foster/Family Dog include score sheet classes Costume, Tricks,
Obedience, Rally and Canine Good Citizenship.
4. Foster/Family
dogs will be awarded on the Danish System of Blue, Red and White ribbons.
5. An
exhibitor that has previously shown at the Texas 4-H Dog Show may participate
in the Foster/Family Dog Competition with a foster dog. However, they must show
in Obedience and Rally classes befitting the dog/ handler team’s experience. No
lower than Obedience Pre-Novice B or Rally Novice B.
For details of
Costume, Tricks, Obedience and Rally, refer to those events in the rule book.
