NYS 4-H Dog Photo, Poetry and Video Contests
Deadline for State 4-H Dog Photo, Poetry and Video Contests – July 19, 2010
Theme in 2010 Is “Canine Global Impact”
The NYS 4-H Dog Program calls on youth affiliated with any CCE 4-H youth development program in New York to submit original photos, poetry and videos to an annual contest promoting youth capacity.
This year, the theme highlights the role dogs play in the family, the community, and the world. These roles include companions in times of stress and good times. Dogs work to meet the demands of growing health, safety and security concerns in the community and global venues. Population issues concern consumers and lawmakers. Entries may be serious or humorous as long as the subject matter includes a domestic canine. Did you know in 2009 the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets reported that there were over 800,000 licensed dogs in our state? That does not count New York City, which has a separate licensing department. It also excludes unlicensed dogs.
“For the past 4 years, we have discovered some amazing youth talent in New York,” says Dana Palmer, extension associate in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell. "We recognize the valuable contributions today's youth offer to help our communities engage in problem solving discussions. We look forward to seeing the students' creativity and new ideas."
Selected entrants will have an opportunity to have their work viewed by the public at the New York State Fair August 26-September 6, 2010 in the Youth Building at the Cynology (Dog Science) Display. In 2008 and 2009, quality youth photo and poetry entries became part of a 12-month calendar.
This is the first year a video contest has been added. The goal of these contests is to create messages that will inspire community involvement, educate the public about pet population issues and help share youth passion, creativity and ideas with others. Dog ownership is not required. Youth who have an interest and understanding of pet population issues can bring people together. These contests are sponsored by the Department of Animal Science in collaboration with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program. No county qualifying procedures are required.
Entry forms and official rules for each contest can be found here: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/4H/dogs/index.html

New Opportunity for Dog Obedience Training: Clinton County Canine Club Partnership
The Clinton County Canine Club has generously agreed to allow Clinton County 4-Hers to participate in their classes at a reduced rate. The first class a 4-Her takes with the club will cost $30—club is discounting price to $45 and we have a small fund to cover a $15 scholarship (Classes are then half price!!). This scholarship is only for the first class--after that, 4-Hers would be eligible to join the Canine Club and would then pay only $20 a class if they choose to join.
A class is a multi-session event. For example, beginning obedience classes include 8-9 meetings once a week. One fee ($30 for the first class) would cover all 8-9 meetings of the class.
Show Handling, Puppy, and Basic Obedience classes open to all. More advanced classes need prior experience and approval of instructor.
Spring classes are tentatively set to begin April 12 and run for 8 weeks. The final schedule and registration information is on their website. Please also contact the Extension Office if you are registering for a class so we can send in our portion of the scholarship money.
Completion of one of these classes would count as a point for the 4-H Dog Project.
