2018 COMPETITIONS
EKKA0530
Welcome from
the President
Competitions are the heart of the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) as they encourage exhibitors to strive to produce
the best of the best year in year out.
The state’s largest annual event has seen competitors rewarded and recognised for their skill, hard work and
dedication since 1876.
In 2017, as Ekka celebrated its 140th anniversary, Queensland’s premier competition event attracted 21,000 entries
across 13,000 classes in 48 competition sections.
More than 4,100 exhibitors competed for their chance to take home a coveted blue ribbon and share in a prize pool
of more than $565,000. This included 1,378 new competitors.
Our competitions continue to grow in popularity each year. Last year saw a record 2,889 entries received in the beef
sections, while Woodchop and Sawing entries reached 2,000 for the very first time - an increase of 30 per cent on
2016.
Painting and Drawing, Pisciculture, Poultry, Quilts Across Queensland, Sculpture, Bush Poetry and Wool also enjoyed
increases in entries.
Some of our competitions were even recognised at the 2017 International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE)
Awards, which represents more than 1,100 fairs around the world.
The RNA received a total of 19 international awards for excellence, six of those for our competitions, with Woodchop
and Sawing, Paddock to Palate and Pisciculture among those recognised.
For 143 years, the RNA has been dedicated to celebrating and championing agriculture and the critical role it plays in
the everyday lives of Queenslanders.
The RNA is honoured to stage the Ekka, the people’s show, on behalf of the community each year, showcasing the
best of the best to an average of around 400,000 people.
Good luck and we look forward to seeing your high quality entries at the 2018 Royal Queensland Show.
