CLASS 9: CAMBRIDGE FALL FAIR LITERACY COMPETITION
Poetry Competition: Celebrate 4-H Theme
4-H Canada is one of our country’s longest-running and respected youth organizations. It was established in
Waterloo County in 1915 by Stanley Knapp, a District Representative, and was then called the Boys’ and Girls’
Club. The year 2015 therefore marks its 100th anniversary and it is, as a result, being recognized and
celebrated by the Cambridge Fall Fair. In 1952, the program name was changed to 4-H Canada reflecting its
emphasis on Head, Heart, Hands and Health. At this time, it also adopted the emblem of a clover which had
already been used in the United States. “Learn to Do by Doing” became its official slogan, as the goal of 4-H is
to develop and foster citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through positive experiential
learning programs.
Though typically thought of as an agricultural organization with early focus on farming technology and animal
husbandry, 4-H today emphasizes engaging and high-quality national programs that encourage positive youth
development in areas such as healthy living, science, engineering, and technology. Members of 4-H clubs
learn new skills and gain new experiences, all within a safe and fun environment. Leaders believe in nurturing
responsible, engaged, skilled and confident young people who are committed to impacting communities
across Canada and around the globe in a positive way.
There are, as a result, over 25,000 members aged 6-25, 7,700 volunteer leaders, 1,900 clubs, and countless
alumni in rural, suburban and urban communities across our country.
Today, 4-H and related programs also exist in over 80 countries around the world. Each of these operate
independently, but cooperatively through international exchanges, global education programs, and
communications.
As a tribute to 4-H Canada, the Cambridge Fall Fair is holding a poetry contest focusing on 4-H themes.
Child/Youth Category (Up to age 17)
Adult Category (Age 17 and Up)
Submit your poems (no longer than two pages long) on subjects directly or vaguely related to 4-H activities,
experiences, or historical programs. Poems on relevant symbols, slogans and mottos such as “Head, Heart,
Hands, or Health” or “Learn to Do through Doing” will also be considered. Pieces need not be directly related
to 4-H but may be inspired by its many goals, initiatives and clubs and by its early emphasis on agriculture and
farming.
Poems written in any style are welcome. They should be original works and typed in Times New Roman or
Arial #12 font on white letter size paper (81/2 x 11). Poems submitted may be previously published or winners
of contests. There is no limit to the number of submissions per poet.
Include with your submission(s): author name, complete mailing address, including apt # (if applicable) and
postal code, telephone number and email (if possible) and poem title(s) or first line(s) if no poem title(s). Also,
state whether you are a child/youth, or adult.
The first-prize winner of the 4H poetry category will be awarded a cash prize of $25.00 per age category by
this year’s Cambridge Fall Fair sponsor DANNY THE BARBER!
Short Story Competition: Write a Fair”y” Tale
A fairy tale is a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy characters such as elves, fairies,
giants, gnomes, goblins, mermaids, trolls, witches, ogres, dragons, princes, wicked stepmothers and fairy
godmothers. They usually include elements of magic. The characters and motifs of fairy tales are simple and
archetypal. Traditionally, they were intended for adult readers but the link with children has been emphasized
over time.
The term fairy tale is also used to describe events that are blessed with unusual happiness, as in “fairy-tale
ending” or “fairy-tale romance.”
A fairy tale can also suggest a farfetched story that could not possibly be true. It takes place once upon a time
rather than in real time. In this never-never land heroes sometimes kill adversaries, inherit kingdoms, speak to
magical creatures, and marry lovely princesses.
This year at the Cambridge Fall Fair we invite
Child/Youth Category (Up to age 17)
Adult Category (Age 17 and Up)
To write an original fairy tale. The story should also make reference, even briefly, to a fair of some form.
Stories should be no longer than 2,500 words and should be typed in Times New Roman or Arial #12 font on
white letter sized paper (81/2x11). Stories may be previously published or may have won contests. There is
no limit to the number of stories submitted.
Include with your submission(s) author name, complete mailing address, including apt. # (if applicable) and
postal code, telephone number and email (if possible) and story title. Also state if you are a child/youth or
adult.
The first-prize winner of the Fair “Y” Tale category will be awarded a cash prize of $25.00 per age category by
this year’s Cambridge Fall Fair sponsor DANNY THE BARBER!
