"We believe that every farmers market in America is special in its own way," the site said. "Big or small, in cities or rural towns, farmers markets nourish their communities while helping local farmers, food makers and artisans thrive."

The $10,000 will be divided between the top five winners, as noted below:

  • $5,000 for first;
  • $2,500 for second;
  • $1,500 for third; 
  • $750 for fourth; and
  • $250 for fifth.

These funds will be awarded to markets to go toward marketing, communications and other needs that help expand the market’s reach and impact, according to the website.
