IX. State 4-H Roundup Awards Program
(Projects which climax at State 4-H Roundup)

A. TENNESSEE TRADITION AWARDS
  1. Horizon Award - The Horizon Award is presented to all Level I state winners in project competition. The Horizon Award is a pyramid on a walnut base. A gold medallion with the words "State Winner - Senior Level I" and a 4-H emblem superimposed over an outline of the state is imbedded in the pyramid. The award symbolizes 4-H'ers quest to explore new horizons as they develop life skills. The Horizon Award is provided by the Tennessee 4-H Foundation.
  2. Level I Scholarships - Each Level I state winner has the opportunity to receive a $500 college scholarship provided by the UTK College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources; UTM College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences; or the UTK College of Education, Health and Human Sciences. These scholarship may be collected upon the successful completion of a semester of college work in the departments of Child and Family Studies or Nutrition in the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; the College of Agriculture Sciences and Natural Resources at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; or in the departments of Agriculture and Natural Resources or Family and Consumer Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Applied Science at the University of Tennessee at Martin.
  3. National 4-H Congress - Each Level II state project winner will receive the trip to National 4-H Congress. National 4-H Congress is an educational, inspirational, fun-filled, comprehensive national leadership forum designed to expose youth to current leadership philosophy and research in critical areas such as agriculture, environment, community, families and communications. It is currently held in Atlanta, Georgia.
  4. Lee Medallion - The Lee Medallion is presented to all Level II winners in project competition. The medallion is circular in shape. The textured center has a 4-H emblem superimposed over a raised shape of the State of Tennessee. The outer part of the medallion has the words "Ieula Lee Medallion - State Winner" in raised letters. The name of the project and the year are engraved on the back of the medallion. The medallion is provided by the Ieula Lee Memorial Fund. (Mrs. Lee was a volunteer 4-H leader for over 60 years in Weakley County.)
