International Youth Livestock Supreme Championship and Scholarships

Please see the up to date event schedule for current events

The Calgary Stampede and Olds Regional Exhibition have created an innovative partnership that has resulted in a fresh and exciting new direction for the popular International Youth Livestock Show. 

Under the partnership and with the support of Alberta 4-H and Alberta Junior Beef Breed Associations, a much larger, intense and integrated competition will take place at Olds Regional Exhibition from July 10 to 14, with the winners in several categories moving on to a Supreme Championship Final at the Calgary Stampede on Sunday, July 16.  Over 250 competitors from across western Canada are expected to participate in this collaborative programming between Calgary Stampede and Olds Agricultural Society. 

Young enthusiasts demonstrate their stewardship skills in sheep, dairy cattle, light horse or beef species classes and will compete this year for $70,000 in scholarship money and prizes.  

“Agriculture and youth programs are fundamental to preserving and promoting western heritage and values,” says David Sibbald, Calgary Stampede board director, who has been very involved in the redevelopment of the program. “The Stampede takes a serious role in showcasing the agriculture industry.” 

*Note: You must be entered for Summer Synergy to be eligible for Calgary Stampede International Youth Livestock Scholarships.
