Nicole Lamers, the Ministry’s Public Trust Specialist, says students are invited to submit a creative three-minute video or a 1,000-word essay sharing their food story.
 
“We are looking for young people who plan to pursue an exciting career in the industry. What they'll need to do is submit their entry and provide a conditional acceptance letter to a post-secondary institution. If they don't have that quite yet that's alright because we can still accept the letters as late as April 1st.  They'll also need to provide a letter of recommendation from either a teacher or an industry leader in agriculture, or a community leader, talking about their history working in agriculture and being a leader and advocate in their studies."
