During the Master Showmanship Contest a Champion Showman will be chosen in each of the Sheep, Swine and Beef divisions. A Grand Champion Showman will be selected based on the top scores across all species. The Grand Champion is then eligible to compete in the Master Showmanship Contest held at the Illinois State Fair.

Contestants are responsible for acquiring an animal in each species. All Morgan Co. 4-H members over 14 years of age exhibiting at the Morgan Co. Fair are eligible to compete. All participants will receive a MASTER SHOWMANSHIP t-shirt.
