The deadline to enter the National Dairy Awards is only a few days away, and farmers or their friends are being urged to get nominations in before it is too late.

Agriland Media Group is delighted to be partnering with Agri Insider to bring you the 3rd Annual National Dairy Awards, which take place at the Midlands Park Hotel, Portlaoise, Co. Laois on June 19. 

The awards, initially launched in 2023, have quickly become the leading agricultural awards in the country.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, May 12 and the entry process is really straightforward.

To enter,click here, fill in your details, answer four or five questions relevant to your entry, review, and submit – it is that simple.

The whole process takes less than an hour and you do not have to do everything in one go. You can start your entry, save it, come back and edit as many times as you want up to the deadline and, when you are happy with it, just press ‘submit’. 

So, now is not the time to be modest. We want to hear from you! Or equally, do you know someone who is doing great work but out of humility would not dream of entering themselves? 

The plaudits and publicity that go with being a finalist, much less a winner, are definitely worth an hour of anyone’s time.
