Consumer Decision Making Contest

Judging is making a decision and telling why you made it. Seldom a day goes by that you do not have decisions to make. For example, when you buy groceries, you must constantly choose between brands while considering quality, size, and cost in making a purchase. In 4-H, judging is essentially a matter of comparing items and deciding which is better and why. Our goal is to teach 4-H members to make wise consumer choices. More Info
