Got an idea? It might be worth growing. 🌱💡

Did we mention contestants have a shot at a share of $3,500 in prize money to help fund your idea? 👀

The Kids Cultivate Agriculture Pitch Contest gives young people ages 5–21 the chance to share an idea connected to agriculture, whether it’s inspired by food, farming, animals, sustainability, technology, education, ag products, or the communities agriculture supports.

Your idea does not have to be polished. Your pitch does not have to be perfect. If selected as a finalist, you’ll have the summer to work with a mentor and bring your idea to the stage. 🎤

🏆 1st Place in each division: $1,000
🥈 2nd Place in each division: $750
👏 People’s Choice Award: $250

A few spots are still available, and your audience is waiting.
