Agriculture

Working on the land and contributing to thriving rural communities requires passion and unique skills that are put to the test in these competitions.

District Exhibits

These spectacular constructions of vegetables, fruit and other produce are one of the highlights of The Sydney Royal Easter Show. These giant displays are a cooperative work by growers that reflect the diversity and excellence of their regional produce. Each consists of more than 10,000 pieces of fresh produce from five agricultural districts throughout NSW and South East Queensland.

Woodchopping & Sawing Competition

The Woodchopping & Sawing Competition has been a feature of the Sydney Royal Easter Show for over a century.

Young Farmer Challenge

The RAS Young Farmer Challenge is the ultimate test of skill and ability, with young farmers showcasing their expertise in a series of on-farm challenges.

Young Judges

The Sydney Royal Young Judges Competitions aim to educate and encourage future Judges in a wide field of industries. Competitors are judged on how well they judge the exhibits, whereas most other Competitions at the Show judge the actual exhibit.

Sydney Royal Agricultural competitions

Competitive youth initiatives such as the The Land Sydney Royal Showgirls, and the RAS Young Farmer Challenge start with competition at a local show level and culminate in finals at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Not every Sydney Royal competition is held during the Sydney Royal Easter Show. There are many that are held year-round.

The Sydney Royal Fine Food Competitions reward excellence in Australian produce. These competitions are held seasonally in summer and spring. Judging for the Sydney Royal Cheese and Dairy Produce Show takes place annually in February, while the Sydney Royal Wine Show and Sydney Royal Beer and Cider Show take place in July and September respectively.

The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW has a vision for a community that understands and values sustainable Australian agriculture and award-quality produce.
