The competitor may use cattle of any age and the animal does not have to be the property of the handler. The competitor may only enter the beef or dairy class, not both. To be eligible for the Northern District prize, the competitor must compete in three or more Northern District A&P Shows in the chosen class for the current Show season. The final show of the season is at Auckland. Competitors are not required to compete at that show but they must attend the prize giving shortly thereafter otherwise winners will forfeit their prize.

In the event of a tie the competitor with the highest number of first place wins then second place wins and so on will be the winner. If entries are low, competitors may be paraded together, however each class will be judged separately. Prize money at show level is to be provided by the show at $20 for 1st place, $10 for 2nd and $5 for third. The highest-scoring Northern District competitors in each of the four classes will receive $130 for 1st place, $100 for 2nd, $75 for 3rd and $45 for 4th.
