The contest is open to Farm Bureau members of any county in Kansas, whether the membership is associate or voting.  There is no age restriction. If submitting as a team or group, at least one participant must be a Farm Bureau member. Employees of Farm Bureau, its affiliated companies, and their immediate families are not eligible to participate in the contest.

All videos become the property of Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB).  There is no limit to the number of entries per person or team.  Kansas Farm Bureau reserves the right to disqualify videos for any reason.

Qualifying videos will be displayed during the 2010 KFB Young Farmers & Ranchers Leaders Conference, where the winners will be named.  All qualifying videos will also be posted on www.youtube.com as well as promoted through KFB’s social networking sites.
