I haven't done this one in a while, but you need to make the CHOICES a tuple or a list[1], not a queryset (unless there has been changes in this specific area). something like this: def make_choices(): choices = [] for item in Province.objects.all() choices.append((item.name, item.name)) return choices # your form stuff ... widgets = { 'name': Select(choices=make_choices()), } The first value is the value stored, the second one is the human readable form in the tuple.
