FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year 2025

FMG Junior Young Farmer of the Year is back for 2025!

HOW DOES IT WORK?  
Competing in teams of two, all teams complete seven modules for a score out of 350 points. From there, the five highest-scoring teams go head-to-head in a buzzer-style quiz called the Face-Off. The top two teams will qualify to represent their region at Grand Final. 

ENTRY FEE
$10 per team

WHAT WILL I BE TESTED ON?
For an idea of what kind of tasks to expect, please look at our family of sponsors and think about the challenges they might set. There is also a module topic library here which provides some ideas of what might be in modules. This is an educational resource rather than a guide to go by. Every team will also receive tips and tricks the week before your Regional Final.

WHO CAN ENTER?
You can enter if you're enrolled in Secondary School for the 2025 school year – years 9 to 13 only – as of the 1st of February 2025 OR if you're enrolled in an NZQA-approved Tertiary Education Provider for your first year only as of the 1st of February 2025.

WHEN DO I NEED TO REGISTER BY?
Entries close at 11:59pm the Sunday prior to the event, if you miss this deadline get in touch with NZYF team here. If team registrations have sold out, you can join the waitlist and we will notify you if a place opens up and you’ll have 48 hours to enter a team. There is room for 35 teams per regional so get in quick!
