Current Awards
Entries now open! Win a trip to the IFAJ Congress in Nairobi, Kenya in October 2025
The Farm Writers Association of NSW supports an annual awards program that not only offers some incredible prizes but looks to promote excellence in rural journalism.
Did you produce the best rural story of 2024 or take the best photo? Our awards for the best photography, print and broadcast journalism in NSW are now open. Two prizes offer the opportunity to travel to the world congress held by the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists.
The awards program is open to all journalists who are current financial members of the Farm Writers' Association of NSW, either individually or through a Corporate Member. Entry details and criteria can be found in the links below.
We strongly encourage our members to enter a single entry in as many of the award categories as they are eligible.
