Showdown — Scrapbook

• Scrapbooks must be completed by the junior exhibiting

• The scrapbook contest is to encourage junior members to keep a record of the different cattle functions they have attended over the past year. It can also be used to educate other juniors on what things are like around your farm through the year.

• The cover should incorporate the year and explain what will be seen throughout the scrapbook (e.g. “On the Move in Ontario”, “Year 2011 Cattle Events”)

• A theme should be carried throughout the scrapbook

• Begin with a title page, followed by a Table of Contents, and all subsequent pages should be numbered

• Include photographs (posed and pertinent candidates), newspaper and magazine clippings, programs from events if they pertain

• Be neat and organized! Have no loose pieces, caption all photos and type or write neatly

• Start early! Scrapbooks that are thrown together at the last minute usually require more work and are less attractive than those that have begun early and kept up to date

• Scrapbook entries are to be brought to Showdown where judging will take place.
