Young Farmer Contest
The National Bank is proud to be the principal sponsor of The National Bank Young
Farmer Contest since 2003. This support for the rural community shows the Bank’s
commitment to helping New Zealand’s future farm and agribusiness leaders achieve
their ambitions.
The contest opens with district finals running from November through to February,
followed by regional events held weekly from February to April. The winners of regional
finals compete for the ultimate title of Young Farmer of the Year at the Grand Final
in June where they face technical, practical and on-screen challenges.
The National Bank Young Farmer Contest forms a major part of our rural sponsorship
calendar. It provides a platform for New Zealand's young farmers to develop life
skills in an environment that encourages participation, personal development and
excellence – values that are consistent with those of The National Bank.
