A prize fund of €1,200 is up for grabs in this year’s competition, along with free tickets to the show, which will be spread across four categories, including a new addition to recognise the important role women play in Irish farming.

The categories for this year’s competition are:

  • Generations working together.
  • Sustainable farming in action.
  • Celebrating women in agriculture.
  • Overall sustainability award
  • Chair of the Sustainable Livestock Village Michael Dolan believes the competition is an opportunity to recognise the good work being done by farmers.

    “We want to highlight the sustainability actions taking place on farms across the country and showcase those stories at Tullamore.

    “Farmers are making a real difference every day and this competition is a chance to share that with the public.”

    Farmers of all ages are encouraged to enter by submitting photographs that capture sustainability in action on their farms.
