Are you a parent, guardian, or 4-H leader looking for a way to help your young 4-H member gain recognition for their hard work? The 2025 Georgia Boot 4-H Trailblazer Contest is an exciting opportunity that will allow you to do just that. It asks your 4-H member to showcase their dedication, leadership, and accomplishments for a chance to win a pretty nice prize.

Why your 4-H’er should apply for the Georgia Boot Trailblazer Contest

4-H is a program that is committed to fostering leadership, skill-building, and community involvement in our youth through various projects. It’s for every boy and girl who will be at least eight but not yet 19 on January 1.

The projects 4-H members focus on agriculture, STEM, leadership, and life skills. It can include everything from raising and caring for livestock to beating engineering challenges and scientific experiments with a strong focus on hands-on learning.

The Georgia Boot 4-H Trailblazer Contest is looking for members who have made a real impact through their 4-H projects. If your child or student has put in hours of effort toward a project they’re passionate about, this contest gives them the opportunity to tell their story and get some recognition. By applying, they can share their 4-H journey with a larger audience and inspire others to do the same.
