Welcome from the President The spirit of friendly competition comes alive at the Sydney Royal Easter Show each year when Australia’s agricultural community comes together to celebrate. Thank you for joining this community and entering a Sydney Royal competition. Today the Sydney Royal competitions held at the Show attract close to 30,000 entries each year from skilled breeders, producers and craftspeople across the country. Because our competitions set benchmarks in excellence and encourage development and innovation, they continue to be an important part of Australia’s agricultural industry. Winning a prestigious Sydney Royal medal not only confirms the exceptional standard of your entry, it can also bring commercial advantages. Major award winners have the benefit of using Sydney Royal medal artwork to promote their success in marketing campaigns. Every year we work hard to evolve the Sydney Royal competitions. Our commitment to adapting to consumer and industry trends keeps our competitions relevant and encourages world-class excellence amongst entrants. The integrity of the competitions relies on the professionalism and ethical standards of our judges, and I thank them for the dedication and knowledge they share with us. I also extend thanks to our Stewards, generous sponsors, our Committees and supporters. I wish you the very best of luck this year, and whether your entry is an award winner or not I hope you benefit from your Sydney Royal experience. Robert Ryan OAM President, Royal Agricultural Society of NSW
