4-H Healthy Food Cooking Challenge

~ Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge 2021 ~
Virtual Cooking Competition

North Carolina 4-H is excited to announce the Dinah Gore 4-H Healthy Food Challenge 2021! This contest challenges an individual or a team of two 4-H members to create a dish using a mystery basket of ingredients.

The final dish should highlight the mystery basket ingredients and any basic ingredients you have used to prepare the dish at home. Individuals or team members must identify and prepare the dish, then make a presentation video about it. The pre-determined mystery basket of ingredients is available here. One team from the 14-18 age group will be selected to attend the National 4-H Food Challenge in September in Texas!

The state competition is virtual this year, and contestants must upload a pre-recorded video following the same format as 4-H presentation videos (additional information can be found in the packet linked below). Competitors must be registered in 4HOnline to participate. Age categories are 8-10, 11-13, and 14-18. The entry deadline is July 12, 2021.
