YOUTH will be celebrated at LambEx 2016 with the second-ever Young Guns Competition to be held at the event on August 10-12 in Albury.
The event, sponsored by the Australian White Suffolk Association, encourages participants from high school students to those starting out in the workforce to share their ideas and interest in the sheep and lamb industry.
The three competition categories include high school or undergraduate students; Honours, Masters or PhD students; and early career professionals, up to 30 years old.
Entrants must submit a one-slide powerpoint and a one-page word document on a lamb industry topic.
A Selection Panel will then choose the 12 finalists, who will receive free admission to LambEx 2016 and be invited to develop a laminated, hard-copy, poster on their topic.
Finalists will deliver a three-minute presentation to the judging panel at the event and winners will each receive a $400 prize, and be interviewed on the main stage in front of the LambEx 2016 audience.
