The annual photo and video competition honouring National Agriculture Day has opened today with a fresh format.
The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) President Hamish McIntyre said the popular annual competition would look slightly different this year.
“We’ve decided to bring in a ‘People’s Choice’ award for 2026, as well as having a dedicated video category,” Mr McIntyre said.
“Ag Day is about loudly celebrating our farmers, and what better way to do that than with a people’s choice category.
“Our farmers work incredibly hard, but it’s work that’s largely done out of the public eye.
“The theme of this year’s Ag Day is “Our Farmers, Our Future”, but photo and video entries can speak to any element of rural life.
“We encourage everyone to submit their images, and then keep an eye on the NFF social media pages, from Saturday, 21 October onwards, to vote for their favourite snap.”

- First placed photo will receive $2,000
