Explanation of Ribbons
At the Goodhue County Fair, the 4-H competitive exhibits are judged according to the Danish system where
everyone receives an award based on their “score” for their entry.
The open class competitive exhibits are judged according to the American system. The items in a lot are judged
against each other. Every lot may receive only one blue (1st), one red (2nd), and one white (3rd). The judge has the final
say if one is given in each lot.
When it comes to Champion and Reserve Champion, each division may handle this differently. But a general rule
may be to award a champion and reserve champion in each class or age division. The Best of Show may then be chosen
out of all of the champions in the division. Award of Merits and Honorable Mentions may be awarded to blue ribbon
winners that were considered for champion. Again, each division and judge may handle and define these special awards
differently.
