The Claiborne County 4-H recently held their annual photo contest and workshop at the Tazewell Baptist Fellowship Hall and initiated members into the Honor Club.
The photo contest featured categories such as people, landscapes, animals, plants and more. Participants were urged to make their submissions relate to 4-H and the good works that the clubs do for young people.
Several participants brought home first place ribbons including Alyssa Allen, Abby Ferguson, Elizabeth Napier and Macie Sumner. Napier and Sumner also brought home second place ribbons.
These photos were judged by the participants themselves according to the 4-H guidelines and they did a great job at being critical but respectful. Claiborne Progress sports reporter and photographer Allen Earl also helped lead the judging process and gave a short presentation on how to improve their photography.
The 4-H Honor Club is a county-wide club for active 4-H members in the seventh through twelfth grades who have demonstrated consistent leadership ability and have been active members in their clubs and communities. Claiborne County 4-H Honor Club initiated 12 new members.
