Got a great idea that needs funding? Then you should enter The $25,000 Question.

The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Foundation is offering young people in rural and regional NSW the opportunity to attract up to $25,000 for a community project in their local area.

If you are a current or previous entrant in The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Competition or RAS Rural Achiever awards, and will be 30 years or under on 1st May, 2010, you’re eligible to participate.

All you have to do is answer this question:

How would you use $25,000 to deliver community benefit in your local area?

It might be playground equipment for the local kindergarten, a tree-planting day to combat salinity or a mental health workshop for drought-affected farmers. You name it, we’ll consider it.
