Get digitally involved in the National Ploughing Championships
With no ‘Ploughing’ 2020 due to Covid-19 the National Ploughing Association would like to take this opportunity to thank you the patrons for your continued support over the years and as a result will be hosting an exciting, fun & informative ‘Digital Engagement’ during what should have been ‘Ploughing Week’ - September 15th-17th.
There will an array of special offers available, interactive competitions, the latest in agriculture machinery, for those of you with a flair for fashion there will be daily fashion shows with all of the upcoming trends, #Ploughing2020 will also include some actual ploughing from Ireland’s finest ploughers and much more.
The highly anticipated Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena Awards winners will be revealed following a summer of stiff competition as ground-breaking agri-related products and cutting edge innovations from Irish companies have battled it out for a cash fund of €10,000, this year’s competition was moved fully online due to the cancellation of the event as a result of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
On Wednesday ‘The Most Appropriately Dressed Competitions’ will take place as usual, albeit digitally this year, with amazing prizes on offer for the winners.
The ‘Most Appropriately Dressed Lady’ will win a luxurious weekend away for two in the exclusive Wineport Lodge Hotel. The ‘Most Appropriately Dressed Gent’ will win a €250 voucher for Detail Menswear, which can be redeemed online or in-store. To be in with a chance to win just simply take a picture of what you would have worn to ‘Ploughing’ on the day and include a sign with #Ploughing2020’, remember it would have been outdoors, in Ireland, in the Autumn so dress for the weather!
With hundreds of entries from around the country the long awaited finals of the National Brown Bread Competition with Aldi & the ICA will take place. There is a prize fund of over €15,000 for the overall winner so expect great drama and delight.
NPA’s Ploughing Organiser Anna Marie McHugh said: "Although it is disappointing that ‘Ploughing’ in its traditional sense isn’t going ahead due to the pandemic. We expect to have a very exciting few days digitally, including many memories from over the years to get involved simply use #Ploughing2020 and follow our social media channels.”
