District Finals are the entry level for the Contest. Approximately 300 New Zealand Young Farmer members from throughout the country compete in one of 22 District Finals held each year between November and February.

District Finals encourage young men and women to demonstrate their skills in an educational and comfortable environment. Those hoping for higher honours are able to push the boundaries a little.

The top contestants from each District Final progress through to their local Regional Final which are held from February to May each year. Contestants who progress through are decided by the Region and will usually depend on how many District Finals are held in each Region.

District Final entries have now closed for the 2009/10 Contest year. Entries will open on the 1st October 2010 for next year's rounds of competition.
