Based on these evaluations, the interview rooms would be assigned with an even mixture of applicants.

Guidelines:

*4-H’ers can continue to submit and reapply for Emerald until received or aged out of the 4-H program.

A 4-H’er may only attend Congress and National Conference one time.

4-H Congress is in Atlanta, GA in November. 4-H National Conference is in Washington D.C. in the spring.

Current 4-H’ers participating in the “Honors Program” or those currently working on their Honors application will be grandfathered in to the “Achievement Program” and will retain their title awarded.

4-H can only apply for one level each year.

Counties will have the option to recognize Level 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 to 4-H’ers who do not received the Achievement Awards at the state.

Gold Interviews, all Gold winners invited to participate – Top 30 selected for Congress – Top 10 Gold selected to apply for Emerald
