FMC hosts youth national anthem contest for $25,000 in scholarships

March 27, 2012

Entrants of the “Stand and Be Heard Anthem Singing Contest” must be a member of a national ag-related student organization, such as FFA, 4-H or a student NAMA chapter, with plans to pursue a career in agriculture or agribusiness.

Entries received by June 15 will be posted to the contest webpage. A public online voting phase to determine the finalists begins on July 2; anyone will be able to go online to vote to determine the top four finalists. Finalists will be announced Aug. 22.

Videotaped interviews and performances of the four finalists will then be aired on national agricultural TV with online voting to determine the grand prize winner. Voting for finalists will take place between Sept. 24 and Oct. 19.

Three of the finalists will each receive a $5,000 college scholarship. The grand prize winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship. Winners will be announced Oct. 24.

“It will be a great experience for our finalists to share their agricultural story and sing the national anthem on national television," said Bob Trogele, FMC North America area director.

Complete contest details are available online.
