It’s time for the annual Hereford Photo & Calendar Competition again, as The Irish Hereford Breed Society and Irish Hereford Prime put out a prize fund of over €2,000.
Tennyson Egar of Irish Hereford Prime said that he “would encourage people of all ages to go out and take photographs of their Hereford animals, and to also have a go at the Prime Beef category, as there are significant prizes to be won”.
Now in its third year, the competition has amended the categories to four, which includes a new feature sustainability category.
The categories are:
1. Herefords – The Natural Choice – Pedigree Hereford animals – all cows, heifers, bulls, calves accepted.
2. The HEX Factor – Hereford cross cattle (Male or Female) in their natural environment.
3. Prime Beef – Best photo of cooked or fresh Hereford beef suitable for any occasion.
4. Hereford an Environmentally Sustainable Breed – Best photo showing how our Hereford farmers look after the environment and make significant contributions to biodiversity.
Note:
Each photo entry must be accompanied by a caption. Competition photos and entry details may be uploaded here. All entries will be judged primarily on the photo quality and not just the cattle. Although good Herefords are always a winner!
Prizes:
One cash prize of €500 will be awarded to the winner.
1st and 2nd prizes will be awarded in each category to the value of 1st €250 & 2nd €150. (A choice of a SuperValu or Farm Wardrobe voucher).
The closing date for entries is midnight on 2 September, 2022. An independent judge will shortlist the entries.
These shortlisted photos will be available for the public to vote online from Friday, 9 September 2022 until 10am on Friday 16 September 2022 on the Irish Hereford Breed Society Facebook page here.
