DLG Agri Influencer Award - #DLGAIA23

Apply for the DLG Agri Influencer Award 2023!

Many farmers report about their life and work on the web. They take their audience with them to the fields, the stable, the forest, the machines, the market, the office or the dining table. They show, explain, express their opinions, share joys and sorrows and also provide entertainment.

Objectives:

With the DLG Agri Influencer Award, the DLG is striving to highlight remarkable agricultural mediators and opinion makers on the Internet and in social media, to make them better known and to support them in their communication.

Evaluation

The awards recognise social media profiles that are particularly committed to public relations work for agriculture. Decisive for the presentation of an award are, for example: The quality of the content, creativity of the presentation, definition of topics, implementation of the topics in words and pictures, illustration of the diversity of agriculture, balance of content, interaction with the community and reach.

Award
The DLG Agri Influencer Award is presented on an honorary basis. It consists of an invitation to the awards ceremony, a certificate, a technical gadget and a communication service: The prize winners and their award-winning profiles will be published by the DLG on the Internet and in the press.

The prize winners will gain exposure that can increase their existing native reach in social media and lead to monetary benefits when working with potential advertising partners. In addition, the DLG enables agricultural influencers to contact potential collaboration partners at various events.

We're involved in the discussion ourselves and don't just let others talk 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.
