Nebraska State Fair 4-H static exhibit results are available online at nebraska4hresults.com/2022-results or in the app (go.unl.edu/zbap).
- We try our hardest to get it right the first time, but we will inevitably miss some ribbons every year. If you spot any missing results or have any corrections, please send those to dodge-county@unl.edu
4-H Livestock shows will happen on the first weekend of the fair, August 26-28. View the full 4-H Fair Schedule here: 4h.unl.edu/state-fair-schedule

Achievement Celebration
Recognition at the Achievement Celebration includes 4-H member and volunteer years of service, youth aging out of 4-H, project area achievements, Diamond Clover awards, Club awards, 4-H Council members, Ambassadors, Scholarships, and more.
Club of Excellence applications are due September 15
Applications are open until October 24th for youth to be considered for Diamond Clover awards.
- extension.unl.edu/statewide/dodge/diamondclover
- The highest Diamond Clover Level is Nebraska 4-H Gives Back. Find out more here: 4h.unl.edu/ne4h-gives-back
Achievement applications will be submitted by October 24th for judging.
Ambassador applications will close on October 24th.
Applications for any award or recognition are not required but are a great way to highlight the special activities that you do as a 4-H'er. Some higher level awards and recognition look great on a resume, and others can show your creativity or talent in ways that the normal schedule of contests and fairs is unable to showcase.
