PRIME LAMBS Schedule 2021 Competitions
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
