Rules & Guidelines
The contest is open to all FFA chapters and 4-H clubs within the Texas Farm Credit service territory.
Your goal is to highlight your chapter or club’s past, present, or future ag-related group project with a 3-5 minute video where you
- explain your project in detail,
- describe the goals of your project and if you met those goals,
- tell us what life lessons were learned or what you expect to learn from the experience, and
- tell us how this prize money would be used if you win…fingers crossed!
Entries are not limited to specific categories and all videos will be judged using the same scorecard whether the topic is livestock, science research, equipment, food production, welding, plant growth, stitchery, wildlife conservation, or any other type of rural-related project or passion.
Each group is limited to one entry.
Submit your video by uploading it on YouTube or Vimeo and then filling out the submission form. Make sure your video is publicly available; if we are not able to view it, it will be disqualified.
All video submissions are due by 11:59pm on October 31, 2023 and must be submitted online. All winners will be announced by mid-February 2024.
Four winning videos will be announced and you could be one of them!
- Grand Champion: $8,000
