Window Wow

Oh, my! Some teams are already meeting for their Window Wow plannings! Now, if you're new to 4-H, you're probably going "What on earth is Window Wow?!" 
Never Fear. :)
A 4-H themed Window Wow. The items represent different projects in 4-H

The Overview

  • Currently, this is only in some Texas counties
  • It is held at the Fashion Show
  • It's a super fun competition in which teams of 4 people have 1hr+ to design a storefront based on a theme
  • You have an area about the size of a folding table
  • It must be based on a theme, which is usually pretty vague to allow teams to be creative

What NOT to do


  • Don't plan on winging it. 
  • Don't attempt to bring items from just your house. Get the whole team to help
Tips and Tricks
  • This is a storefront, remember? It can be eclectic! Borrow Grandma's antique sewing machine or enlist your youth pastor's help in painting a mural on canvas to be your background
  • Study storefronts in your town
  • Make your design eye-catching
  • Assign each member a task so you don't all run around. The judges like organized, well-prepared teams
