Judging

All entrants are required to be available to attend their judging in February/March.  If there are large numbers in a region, a preliminary judging round will be held to select candidates for a final judging round.

Preliminary Judging

The preliminary judging round will comprise a 30 minute practical section and a 30 minute interview section.  The practical section will contain three modules of everday farming tasks for you to complete.  The interview section will cover the following topics:

  • Career Development
  • Personal Development
  • Industry Awareness
  • General Farming Knowledge

Finals Judging

The finals judging round will follow the same format as the preliminary round, but with different tasks and different questions.   

You will receive correspondence from your Regional Co-ordinator in late January providing information about your judging dates, venue for judging and the judge's names.
