The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society is delighted to confirm the return of their New Product Innovation Award for trade exhibitors of the Balmoral Show.
This fresh accolade, sponsored by Farming Life and Farm Week, further recognises innovation from amongst some of Northern Ireland’s top performing large and small enterprises represented at the Show.
The winner of the New Product Innovation Award will receive a tailored £1,500 advertising package with Farming Life/Farm Week to further promote their business and product/service.
From new technologies to transformational services, entries will be eligible from any of the 2026 Balmoral Show’s trade exhibitors who have introduced a new product or service to the Northern Ireland market since January 2024.
Jenny McNeill, RUAS Business Development Executive confirmed, “Following the success of the inaugural competition in 2025 we can’t wait to hear all about the freshest products and services to hit the Northern Ireland market in recent months. Last year we were blown away by the quality of our entries and are very excited to see what this year’s trade exhibitors have up their sleeves”.
