Angus members may submit their Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) or equivalent certificates for a chance to win up to $2,000 for their state Angus association.

An association must have at least 30% of its members submit their BQA or equivalent certificate to be eligible for the financial reward. The three associations submitting the most certifications above the threshold will receive money to use at their discretion.
