COPYRIGHT/TRADEMARK

• Use of University trademark in 4-H projects

• Are you planning to use an Iowa State trademark in your 4-H project for the county or state fair? Here's how you get permission to show your project!

• Iowa State's trademarks are very popular, and students will often want to use them in 4-H projects for their county fair. In order for the fair to show and judge your work, they require a letter of permission from us. Just email trademark@iastate.edu and include your full name and mailing address, which County you are in, type of project (sign, wood working, glass, string, photo, etc.), and which trademark/logo you are using. If you have a picture of the project, we would love to see it, but it is not required.

• Please allow 3-5 business days for response. We will send an electronic version of the letter to your email, but a paper copy can be requested if you'd like that as well.
