County heats of the annual YFCU Floral Art Competition in partnership with Power NI recently took place throughout Northern Ireland. Members were tasked to produce a creative floral arrangement to depict the theme ‘A touch of sparkle’. The County heats saw a fantastic turnout with over 500 competitors both male and female ranging in age from 12 – 30 demonstrating their creative flare.

“Power NI is delighted to return as a sponsor of the Floral Art Competition, as part of our Platinum Sponsorship of YFCU for 2021-2024. This is a key event in the Young Farmers’ calendar, and we can’t wait to see what this year’s finalists have to offer!” said Amy Bennington, Commercial Marketing Manager at Power NI.
Members were commended across the board by judges on their imaginative and interesting interpretations of the theme. Judges had a difficult task marking the entries, allowing just the top member in each age group of each area to go through to the final.
The YFCU would like to take this opportunity to thank all the judges for giving up their time to come along and judge the entries and also to all the venues for the use of their facilities.
