Competition sits at the heart of the Show. It’s what gives people an opportunity to challenge themselves, find out where they sit amongst others in the industry, and connect with a like-minded community.
Competitions are also a vital part of professional and industry development. Feedback from judges and co-competitors helps to drive continuous improvement across every industry. This is one of the ways that the RAHS and the Show helps to preserve and protect Australian agriculture and ensure its successful and sustainable future.
International judges are also a regular feature of Show competitions. They bring a wealth of experience, different perspectives, and international insights into every arena. When you enter a Show competition, you’re guaranteed to be competing in a nationally and internationally-regarded field.
