Your livestock project is more than just an animal. It's months of hard work, responsibility, dedication, and learning. Now it's your chance to tell that story.
If you're exhibiting livestock at the 2026 Benton Franklin Fair, create a 2 to 3 minute video showcasing your project for a chance to win cash prizes.
Whether you're raising a steer, pig, lamb, goat, chicken, rabbit, pocket pet, horse, or any other livestock project, we want to see what makes your experience special. Show us your daily routine, what you've learned, the challenges you've overcome, and why you're proud to be involved in agriculture. Get creative and have fun with it!
Entries may be submitted by individuals or groups, including 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, families, Grange groups, or any team of registered livestock exhibitors. If your club or chapter is raising funds for educational trips, equipment, supplies, or future projects, this contest is a great opportunity to showcase your hard work while competing for cash prizes. Or you can use the money toward next year’s project!
