There will be two age divisions of the Folding Display Contest: Youth – Grange members between the ages of 14-21 as of Jan. 1; Young Adult- Grange members between the ages of 22-35.
Each entry must be selected at a State Grange level contest. Each state may send up to one entry per category to the National Contest. The display theme must be Grange related. State Youth Directors must notify the National Youth Di- rector by Oct. 1 or after the State Session, of State winners.
All entries must be exhibited at the National Grange Session; mem- bers need not attend to participate. A Grange member may enter as an individual OR as a member of a group. All group entry members must be in the same age division.
