Snap, click and 4-H wins in county fair social media contest

Friday, September 1, 2017

Oklahoma 4-H’ers have a chance to win $1,500 in a snap … of a picture, that is.

The Oklahoma 4-H Foundation launched the Share Your County Fair social media contest, which challenges 4-H’ers across the state to take photos at the county fair and post them to social media.

The county with the most photos will win $1,500 for the county 4-H program.

“This is an easy and fun way to raise awareness about 4-H, promote our county 4-H program and encourage people to come out and enjoy our county fair,” said Blayne Arthur, executive director of the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation.

Photos should be posted to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #ShareYourCountyFair and tagged @Oklahoma4h. The name of the county should be included in the caption.

Eligible entrants may enter once a day and must use a public social media account. Posts to private accounts will not count. All photos must be the property of contest entrants.

The deadline for submitting photos to designated social media outlets is 11:59 p.m. Oct. 31.
