Whether it’s a young farmer with plenty of potential and passion, the future GAA star of your county or a charming entrepreneur set to impress, we’re on the lookout for rising rural stars.

In this summer’s edition of IFJ Junior, we’ll be celebrating young people who are making their mark in rural Ireland.

We want to profile them in our paper and tell their story to the country. As well as that, we have a prize fund of €2,000.

To enter, click the link below and fill in the details outlining why the young person in your life deserves to be celebrated. You can write your entry (300 words max) or send a video (100MB max).
