Remember: All posters, notebooks, and display boards MUST include a reference list indicating where information was obtained,
giving credit to the original author, to complete the 4-H member’s exhibit. This reference list should/might include web site links,
people and professionals interviewed, books, magazines, etc. It is recommended this reference list be attached to the back of a
poster or display board, be the last page of a notebook, or included as part of the display visible to the public. A judge is not to
discredit an exhibit for the way references are listed. Reference Sheets are available at the Extension Office for use if needed. For
personal safety, do not include personally identifiable information such as mailing address or phone numbers on
posters/displays/exhibits.
