Description

How to Apply

The next generation of agricultural communicators are offered an introduction to the world of journalism and public relations thanks to the British Guild of Agricultural Journalists’ John Deere Training Award.

The award, which has been running for more than 30 years, has helped to produce some of the UK’s leading editors, correspondents and communications professionals working in the industry today.

Each year is aimed at students in their final year of study and offers ten aspiring communicators the chance to take part in a free immersive training course, as well as a work placement with a national farming publication, agricultural PR agency, or in a communications department of a farmer-facing business.

Each course member then has the chance to enter their best piece of work to be judged, with the winner taking home the overall John Deere Training Award and £250 first prize. A runner up will receive £100. Both prize winners will also be invited to as guests to the Guild’s flagship Harvest Lunch event in London.

The course will take place this summer 6 - 8 July 2025 at John Deere’s UK & Ireland headquarters in Langar, Nottinghamshire.
