4-H Virtual Cooking Challenge

HI 4-H News Release

Hawaii 4-H Cooking Challenge is open to youth in grades five through 12. Molokai youth can participate in this virtual event, and do not need to be a current 4-H member to participate.

Compete by submitting a five to seven minute video featuring a local commodity (plant or animal) that demonstrates the successful completion of a healthful recipe.

Entrants will participate in a county-level competition and county winners will be selected to compete in a state competition. The state round of the contest will feature the youth showcasing their food photography skills.

Youth will learn food safety, kitchen skills, nutrition facts, and presentation skills. The contest is supported with resources from the Hawaii State 4-H Program and the University of Hawaii at Manoa Extension GET Local program. There is no cost to participate.

Register by visiting go.hawaii.edu/AD6 or contact Nancy Ooki, Hawaii State 4-H Program Coordinator at ooki@hawaii.edu. Deadline to register is May 12.

Awards for the contest will be provided by support from the Hoag Hospital Foundation.
