The first Corn Club of 1904 selected and completed projects and shared the results. This first 4-H club also held the first Project Achievement Competition. 4-H Project Achievement is a self-directed individual competition including presentations and, when age appropriate, a documented record of project work, leadership and service based on experiential learning activities. Youth beginning at age nine and continuing until nineteen have the opportunity to explore an area of interest and share their knowledge through a competitive process designed to meet youth development and age appropriate standards. Projects are offered in more than 50 different areas with nearly every topic of interest or educational area available for exploration and presentation.  District Project Achievement competition is supported by University of Georgia faculty members in the College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, College of Family & Consumer Sciences and Warnell School of Forestry along with 4-H alumni, professionals in the field and other supporters. Project competition is facilitated under the coordination of twenty project coordinators recruiting more than 25 judges that score competition in conjunction with more than 100 county faculty, staff and volunteers.

Southeast District submitted 715 project portfolios summarize work in projects, leadership and service. 670 seventh-twelfth grade
youth presented illustrated talks, food labs, performances and demonstrations the day of competition.
