Presidents’ Trophy

This highly regarded trophy recognises an act of service that contributes to the success of the Wānaka A&P Show—re-presented by the Hunt Family for the Show President to award as they see fit.

It is awarded annually at the Show in the President’s Tent following the Grand Parade.

Young family

The 2025 President’s Trophy is awarded to a family whose contribution to the Wānaka A&P Show spans generations.

Judy Young’s nearly 30-year commitment, alongside John’s two decades of involvement and Melissa’s more recent support, has helped shape and grow the much-loved Pets & Dogs competition. Their dedication, energy, and quiet reliability have left a lasting mark on the Show.

We’re proud to recognise the Young family for their outstanding service — thank you, Judy, John, and Melissa.
