South Central Land Judging Contest

Welcome to the 2025 South Central Land Judging event page. Please check back to get contest updates and helpful tips and resources to help your students be successful.

The deadline for registration is September 22. For UBBNRD to coordinate this event effectively, registration and payment coordination is important. If your school is not registered and payment coordinated ahead of the contest, UBBNRD cannot guarantee your contestants participation in this event.

As of 9-11, registration will be at the UBBNRD office (319 East 25th Street, York, NE  68467) from 8:00-8:30 am. We are planning for the contest to start at 9:00 am and conclude not later than 12:30 pm. Please plan on 30 minutes travel after registration to get to the contest site. Right now, we are planning to let schools go after the competition and award at a later date, so everyone can have time to get home before the conclusion of the school day. That may change as the day approaches. Stay tuned.

Capability rules for Polk County will apply at the contest site.

Contestants should bring:  clean clipboard, pencil (no pens), hand towel and rubber band (in case of wind)

Contestants should leave in the van or bus: phones and smartwatches, rulers or tape measures, knives and bubble vials
