This winter, we’re celebrating the food traditions that make the season special! Recreate a food tradition that is meaningful to you, your family, or your religious or cultural group, and tell us what it means to you and how it connects you to your family or culture. Ideas include a family recipe passed down through generations, a dish tied to your heritage, a traditional religious food, a seasonal holiday treat, or a recipe that reminds you of a grandparent or another special person.
Family Division: ages 5 and older. Individual Division: ages 8-11 and 12-18. Parents or guardians submit the entry form between Nov. 15 and Jan. 15. At least one participant must be an enrolled 4-H club member. One entry per family or youth.
Two winners will be selected in each individual age category and in the family division, based on story, visual appeal and alignment to challenge rules. Winners will be announced on Illinois 4-H social media two to three weeks after the Jan. 15 deadline.
