Champion of Champions

Best of the Best

Supporting today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Champion of Champions Youth Program

As part of our belief in the value of exhibitor participation, the Florida State Fair is proud to continue our unique Champion Animals and Champion Youth Program. In addition to recognizing and rewarding champion animals, which have long been the foundation of livestock competitions, this program also highlights youth exhibitors based on both participation and achievement.

Deciding Our Champions

Premiums will be awarded in two categories: traditional premiums based on animal placings and achievement premiums based on exhibitor participation in a wide range of educational events. Points will be accumulated by each exhibitor throughout the program for each event they participate in, and Achievement Premium monies will be rewarded proportionately for their involvement.

We’re excited about your interest and invite you to explore all the details for each show. Be sure to check out the latest information, updates, and opportunities to get involved!
