MB Ag Days 2027 – Publication Cover Photo Contest!! We want your photo on the front cover of the 2027 Manitoba Ag Days Publication. 

The theme of the 2027 Manitoba Ag Days show is “Fifty Years of Innovation and Tradition.” Photographers are encouraged to submit an image that reflects this theme and celebrates the people, places, equipment, livestock, landscapes, traditions and innovations that have shaped prairie agriculture over the past 50 years. Creative interpretation of the theme is encouraged. 

Manitoba Ag Days is looking for photographs that are visually compelling, authentic and representative of Prairie agriculture. Whether capturing a piece of historic equipment, a new agricultural innovation, a family tradition, a working farm, a Prairie landscape or the people who make agriculture possible, submissions should connect to the spirit of Fifty Years of Innovation and Tradition.

Our team will narrow it down to the final entries and then the social media followers of Manitoba Ag Days will have the final say.  Be sure to have your friends and family follow along and enjoy the pictures @mbagdays on Facebook, X and Instagram.
