You and your organisation are invited to enter a team in the New Zealand Soil Judging competition from the 25-27 November, 2022 in Blenheim. 

Entry is open to any students and working professionals interested in Soil Science. Education institutions and organisations can put together teams of 4 people, plus a coach. If you do not have a team, we will match you with others to form a group.

The competition is one of the best practical training and networking grounds for aspiring soil professionals.

During the competition participants can:

​

• Increase their knowledge of soils and soil profiles

• Connect with other early-career soil scientists from across New Zealand

• Network with and learn from experienced soil scientists

• Apply a land capability assessment to supplement their soil description and interpretation

​

The event includes two training days and one competition day, leading to the announcement of the winners at the Prizegiving event in a location close to Blenheim, on Sunday 27 November. Prizes are awarded for team and individual performances. Participants will need to cover their accommodation costs, but there is a range of options close to the soil judging venue.
