The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society has played a leading role in the development of agriculture and the rural economy in Wales for over a century, since its formation in 1904.
Today our work includes providing support for business, social welfare and education in rural communities, and the organisation and staging of our ever-popular society events; the Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair.

Trees on the Farm
Primary school age children eligible to enter
Trees are an important part of our Welsh farm landscape. They can provide shelter for animals, homes for wildlife, and help protect the soil and land.
For this theme, take a photograph showing trees as part of farm life. This could include trees in fields, hedgerows, orchards, or trees growing near animals or farm buildings.
Show us how trees and farming belong together!
Trees and Farming Together
Secondary school age children eligible to enter
Across Wales, trees play an important role in supporting sustainable farming. They can provide shelter for livestock, improve soil health, support biodiversity, and help tackle climate change.
For this theme, take a photograph that captures the relationship between trees and agriculture within the working landscape. This might include hedgerows, shelterbelts, farm woodlands, orchards, or trees growing alongside livestock and crops. Your image should highlight how trees contribute to a resilient and sustainable farming environment.
