The 2026 4-H Dog Artistic Expression Contest Deadline to register Is May 1, 2026. Entries must be received by May 15, 2026 at one of three locations (linked below). Youth in North Carolina are invited to participate in the fourth annual 4-H Dog Artistic Expression Contest. Categories include: Contact your local 4-H Agent to possibly coordinate item drop-off with their own deadline. All items must be at Burke, Guilford, or Duplin County Centers by the deadline, so your county deadline will be sooner. Winners will be announced at the N.C. 4-H State Presentation Finals in Raleigh on the advertised date. There are lots of prizes being handed out.
