If you or someone you know has made an outstanding contribution to Queensland agriculture, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries want to hear from you.
There are two awards. The first is the Peter Kenny Medal, named in great recognition of one of AgForce’s most respected and beloved leaders. Peter Kenny served as General President from 2004-2008 and this award, which has been given in his name since 2016, picks up where AgForce’s previous
Peter Kenny Bursary left off.
The second award is the Minister’s Emerging Leader Award, specifically for candidates aged 18 to 35.
Each award comes with $3,000 in prize money.
Applicants can come from any agricultural, fisheries, or forestry field, like agribusiness, education, farm-based production, supply chain operations, research, or policy.
Check out the
eligibility criteria, forms, and more on DAF’s website and read Minister Mark Furner’s full
media release.

Queensland Agriculture Facebook page.
The awards close on 20 July, with the winners announced at a date yet to be confirmed.
