Competing in Both 4-H & FFA National Events

The National offices of 4-H and FFA have agreed on the following national policy, in the interest of consistency between events and between organizations in eligibility for national competition.

"Participation by the same individual in both a National 4-H and a National FFA competitive event in the same year may occur only when the following is accomplished -

For 4-H:

Participation in a National 4-H competitive event will require that all youth participating be a "bona fide" current 4-H participant and must qualify for the national event through an approved state competition or selection process conducted or sanctioned by the representative organization.

For FFA:

Participation in a National FFA Career Development event will require that all youth participating be a "bona fide" member of an FFA chapter and must qualify for the national event through an approved state competition conducted or sanctioned by the representative organization."
