Competitors in the Dairy Manager of the Year contest can choose one topic from five options to present to judges and pick up extra points.
General manager Chris Keeping said feedback on how the power play concept was working for entrants and judges was positive.
"The Power Play lets an entrant draw on their strengths and gives each presentation an individual flair. The component is worth 20 per cent of total marks."
The Dairy Manager of the Year competition is the new name for the Farm Manager of the Year competition, which along with the other competitions was revamped this year to enable more people to enter the awards and to make the competitions more even.
"The upshot is that the dairy manager competition does cater for a wide range of age, abilities and experience in the industry. Having the power play assists all entrants to focus on one area they know well, and are trained and confident in."
The five options to choose from were farm finances, health and safety, technology and innovation, team management, and farm environment.
The competitor with the highest tally in the power play nationally would be recognised with an award.
Judging is underway in the 11 regional competitions.
A new power play has been introduced to the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards to attract more entrants.
