DLG Agri Influencer Award 

#DLGAIA26

Many of you report online about life and work as a farmer. Followers are taken to the fields, the barn, the forest, the machines, the market, the office or the dining table. You show, explain, express your opinion, share your joys and sorrows and also provide entertainment.

With the DLG Agri Influencer Award, we want to highlight remarkable agricultural mediators and opinion leaders on the internet and in social media, make them better known and support them in their communication.

Here we talk ourselves - not others about us!

With our award, we would like to honour the best agricultural blogs and profiles in social media and therefore present them to a wider public. After all, the prize is also intended to help connect those involved in agriculture on the web, to encourage them and, in the best-case scenario, to motivate others to become involved in digital public relations work.

One award - two categories!

DLG Best Agri Influencer International

All channels run by farmers, agricultural workers, or farms actively engaged in agriculture and operating a social media channel with non-German agricultural and agricultural technology content and at least 1,000 followers are welcome to participate.

DLG Best Agri Influencer in German

All channels run by farmers, agricultural workers, or farms actively engaged in agriculture and operating a social media channel with German-language agricultural and agricultural technology content and at least 1,000 followers are welcome to participate.

This is included in the assessment:

The awards recognise social media profiles that are particularly committed to public relations work for agriculture. Decisive for an award are, for example:

  • What topics are discussed?
  • How are the topics realised in words and images?
  • Does the diversity of agriculture become clear?
  • How balanced is the content?
  • How does it interact with the community?

Award and Test regulations for 2026 will follow shortly.

What you can win:

  • We will invite both winners to the award ceremony. This means they will travel to Hanover at our expense, receive a ticket for EuroTier, a ticket for the Young Farmers Party and, if applicable, an overnight stay in a hotel.
  • Both winners will also receive a certificate and a gift.
  • All in all, there will be extensive press and public relations work surrounding the award, in which the winners will be prominently represented.

Here's how it works:

You could apply from July to August 2026.

The DLG AIA team will review all applications and draw up a longlist for each category.

The jury will meet and choose the winners. The DLG is represented on the jury together with media representatives, communication experts and agrarians.

The winners will be notified in the end of September 2026 and invited to the awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, 12 November 2026 at the beginning of the Young Farmers Party during EuroTier at the Hanover Trade Fair Grounds.
