Entries Open for the 2012 TeenAG Contest

Make sure you get your teams in for the 2012 TeenAg Competition in your region which runs alongside the national bank young farmer contest region finals. 

For those of you that don’t know what TeenAg is, it is an agricultural skills based competition held at the 7 regional finals around New Zealand for teams of 2 people aged 14 - 18, with the chance to compete at the 2012 Grand Final TeenAg Competition in Dunedin in May

The competition is in 2 parts, the Prelims and the Race Off. The Prelims consist of 7 modules, a combination of agricultural and educational challenges, racing against the clock and trying to get as much right as possible so as to score the most points. This year’s Competition has a whole lot more compared with past years with different modules, harder challenges, an extreme new race off and bigger and better prizes.

The top 7 scoring teams from the Prelims go through to the Race Off, which is a race against the other teams to complete a course of quick challenges. The top 3 teams from the race off go through to the Grand Final.
