2021 Competitions
Photo by Queensland Country Life
Welcome from the President Our competitions have been showcasing the very best of Queensland since the first Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) in 1876. Competitions are the heart of the Show, rewarding and recognising our exhibitors, and highlighting the vital role agriculture plays in our everyday lives. As you know, due to the impacts of COVID-19, we made the decision last year to cancel the 2020 Ekka. Remarkably, we were able to run eight of our competition sections in a modified format during the worldwide pandemic. More than 3,300 competition entries were received, which was pleasing to see during such an uncertain and challenging year. Our Young Judges, Digital Photography and Bush Poetry competitions were moved online, introducing a new audience to our much-loved Ekka traditions. The Digital Photography Competition was hugely successful, attracting 1,850 entries - up an incredible 2,000 per cent on 2019. We are planning for the gates to open this August and are delighted all 42 of our competition sections will return for Ekka 2021. Our virtual competitions will also stay, as we continue to embrace the digital age to expand the growth and reach of our traditions. In 2021, the Show will open on a Saturday (August 7), running for nine days instead of 10, maintaining two full weekends and the Ekka public holiday. We remain committed to showcasing our wonderful agricultural traditions and look forward to bringing our exhibitors back together again to celebrate what makes Queensland great. Good luck with your entries and we look forward to seeing you at our fantastic comeback 2021 Royal Queensland Show. David Thomas RNA President

Judging Criteria:
• P8 Fat Depth – Is measured on the hot carcass at the P8 site using a Probe. The depth of fat at this site reflects the
percentage of fat in the carcase and the subsequent meat yield. Max. points are given for a P8 Fat Depth of 11-12mm.
• Rib Fat Depth - Rib fat (RF) is the measurement of the thickness of subcutaneous fat measured in millimetres at the
specified rib. The MSA Grading System uses Rib Fat in the prediction of eating quality. Max. points are given for a RF
of 9-10mm.
• Fat colour - Fat Colour (FC) is the colour of the intermuscular fat lateral to the rib eye muscle and adjacent to the M.
iliocostalis. It is assessed on the chilled carcass and scored against the AUS-MEAT Fat Colour reference standards
from 0 to 9. Max. points are given for FC of 0.
• Meat colour - Meat Colour (MC) is the predominant colour of the rib eye muscle. Meat Colour is assessed on the chilled
carcase at the bloomed rib eye muscle area and is scored against the AUS-MEAT colour reference standards from 1A-
7. Max. points are given for MC of 1C.
• Marbling - Marbling (MB) is the fat deposited between muscle fibres and is assessed on the chilled carcase at the
M.longissimus dorsi muscle and scored against the AUS-MEAT / MSA Marbling reference standards from 0 - 9. Max.
points are given for MB greater than 2.
• Estimated Lean Meat Yield - Estimated Lean Meat Yield (ELMY) is the weight of meat in kilograms of an AUS-MEAT
standard carcass that can be retained after the removal of subcutaneous and intermuscular fat, bone and other tissues.
The equation for the prediction of ELMY is 8.68 + 0.54 HSCW – 1.338 fat thickness at 10th rib + 0.259 EMA.
• Eye Muscle Area - Eye Muscle Area (EMA) is the area of the surface of the M.longissimus dorsi at the 10/11th ribbing
site and is calculated in square centimetres. The EMA points calculation is based on the area of the eye muscle
measured in square centimetres in relation to the HSCW.
