Awards and Contests

members, which recognize and reward excellence. All contests are
judged by IAFE member representatives and professionals from respective
fields.

The Agricultural Awards Program has three main goals: to improve
the agricultural education of fairs; to help fairs determine ways
to be of service to both fair exhibitors and the fairgoing public;
and to give recognition to fairs that provide outstanding agricultural
education.

Hundreds of volunteer fair management personnel have worked
long and hard to see that the annual event they are associated
with is able to continue as a valuable community showcase.

of those individuals yearly with an award and $1,000 cash to
be presented at the IAFE annual convention in Las Vegas.
