Calendar Photo Competition

THEME FOR 2025: FACES OF FARMING

We are excited to announce the RuralBiz Training Calendar Competition is now open!

This year we are highlighting the true hearts behind Australian agriculture. We recognise their contributions towards ensuring food and fibre continues to be produced for the millions around the world who rely on farmers to survive.

The farmers, families, friends, employees, seasonal workers, supporting businesses, communities and the animals, all of whom work behind the scenes and often around the clock - the life blood of the land.

Make the most of this fantastic opportunity to show off your great eye for capturing the faces of agriculture with the simple click of the camera. Take the time to share your story at the time of submitting your photo. This could be a few short words or a paragraph detailing the tale that lies beneath the face.
