Day 1 (Friday)
Similar to the District Contests, up to 30 Contestants will complete 10-15 short modules. The top 8 Contestants will move to Day 2.
There are seven Regional Finals running across the country between February and April 2024.
Each Regional Final will decide who will be competing at the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Grand Final in July 2024.
This season, we’re trialling a new format in all seven regions to look at ways that we can still find New Zealand’s best Young Farmer, but in a way that is potentially more streamlined.
These will be two-day events, with day one resembling the traditional District Contest and day two aligning more closely with a Regional Final.
Similar to the District Contests, up to 30 Contestants will complete 10-15 short modules. The top 8 Contestants will move to Day 2.
The top 8 contestants from Day 1 will complete two Head-to-Heads, and a Farmlet and will compete in the Buzzer Quiz at the evening show.
The winner will move to Grand Final.
The FMG Junior and AgriKidsNZ competitions will still take place on the Saturday of the Regional Final.
