Local show social media posts – entrants

These social media posts are available for all shows to use when promoting the Australian Young Farmer Challenge at your show.

The purpose of these posts is to generate interest in entering the competition, so it is important you have a call to action which tells readers how they can enter your Australian Young Farmer Challenge competition. We have created customisable copy templates for each of the social media posts which will get you off to a great start.

Local show social media posts – Sponsors

These social media posts are specifically targeting potential local sponsors’ involvement in your Australian Young Farmer Challenge competition.

We have created customisable copy templates for each post.

The generic social tiles are available for all shows to use when promoting the Australian Young Farmer Challenge at your show.

Media Releases

This collection of media releases aims to educate the wider community
on the Australian Young Farmer Challenge competition, encourage entrants, communicate sponsorship opportunities, and announce new sponsors.

We have created Microsoft Word customisable media release templates which you can download, edit, place on your local show letterhead and print or email to your local newspaper and radio station and any other relevant local media outlets.

Line Drawings

This collection of line drawings can be used for promoting the Australian Young Farmer Challenge competition. The illustrations can be used in blog posts, social media posts, and anywhere the competition is promoted.
