This award is open to all breeds of pedigree pigs entered into the show. The object is to determine the best young pig born in the year of the show as an example of their respective breeds. All animals entered in this competition must be the property of a member of the British Pig Association and must be registered in BPA's herd books or the herdbook of the British Lop Society.

To be eligible for a qualifying round a pig (male or female) must be born on or after 1st January of the year of the Show. A pig judged Best Young Male or Best Young Female in a qualifying round cannot compete in any subsequent round. If a pig having qualified at an earlier show again qualifies at a later show the judge for that breed shall select an alternative pig of the same breed and sex from any class covering the required age group. In the Any Other Breed of Traditional Pig Breeds and the Modern Pig Breeds sections, the judge will nominate the best male and female of the qualifying age for each breed represented (regardless of class prizes). 

This Show is a qualifying round for the Final, which will be judged at The Malvern Autumn Show. The Final will be to judge the Best Modern Male and Female with Reserves and the Best Traditional Male and Female with Reserves; the Best Pig (i.e. Young Pig of the Year) and Reserve.
