The closing date for entries is the 30th May 2010 and all finalists will receive a personal visit by the Judging Panel sometime during the first two weeks of July together with Glendale Show entry tickets and an invitation to the President’s Reception at the show.

"There are many hugely successful farm diversification projects in Northumberland, The Glendale Agricultural Society is grateful that George F. White are sponsoring this competition again which will be able to highlight some of these. So anyone who wants to be recognised or knows of someone they think should be recognised for developing a sustainable future for their farm through a new enterprise, should give it a go and fill in an application.” George F. White, who have Northumberland offices in Alnwick and the Tyne Valley is the largest firm of independent Chartered Surveyors in the region and Andrew Entwistle, stresses how important it is that these businesses are highlighted and supported: " As a company we are fully aware that in recent years more and more farmers have had to develop their overall offering and look at ideas to add value to their existing business. Today Northumberland has some of the most fantastic food producers, tourism businesses and equine organisations in the country, so hopefully by highlighting these new enterprises more people will be encouraged to think about new opportunities."
