Awards

Win a trip to the IFAJ Congress in Croatia - September 2026

The Farm Writers' Association of NSW supports an annual awards program that not only looks to promote excellence in rural journalism but offers some incredible prizes.

The awards program is open to all journalists who are current financial members of the Farm Writers' Association of NSW. There are several awards supported and promoted by the Association, including the best photography, print and broadcast journalism in NSW. The prize for two awards is a trip to the annual congress of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ). The 2026 event is being held in Osijek, Croatia in September.

We strongly encourage our members to submit a single entry in as many of the awards as they are eligible.

Applications close on 13 February 2026 for content broadcast or published in the 2025 calendar year.
