Led Steer Schedule

2019 Competitions

Welcome from the President

Our Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) competitions are the ultimate showcase of the best of the best. They reward and recognise our valued exhibitors for achieving excellence and promote agriculture and the critical role it plays in our everyday lives to Queenslanders.

In 2018, more than 4,125 exhibitors travelled to the Ekka for their chance to win a coveted blue ribbon and share in the $530,000 prize pool, including 1,186 new competitors.

We received 21,000 entries across 11,000 classes in 48 competition sections, with an increase in entries across many categories including Canine, Cookery, Dairy Goats, Education on Show, Poultry and Farriers and Blacksmiths.

It was pleasing to see large crowds acknowledging the achievements of our exhibitors, with more than 414,000 people attending the 2018 show - our biggest Ekka since 2011.

Some of our competitions were even recognised at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) Awards, which represents more than 1,100 fairs around the world. The Ekka won 24 international awards including 16 first places, with the Floristry, Race Around Ekka, Little Sprouts, Cookery and Student Made Cheese competitions all placing.

The RNA is also committed to providing exhibitors with world-class facilities to use, through our $2.9 billion Brisbane Showgrounds Regeneration Project.

In 2019, our Canine Competition exhibitors will use the new Alexandria Park, offering an undercover area for benching and a grassed area for judging. Also this year, all four storeys of our world first animal pavilion will be in use for the very first time, housing many animals including beef and dairy cattle, poultry and sheep.

For 143 years the RNA has been dedicated to championing agriculture and is honoured to stage Queensland’s largest event on behalf of the community each year.

Good luck and we look forward to seeing your entries at the 2019 Royal Queensland Show.

know about.

Under the GBO, individuals and organisations whose activities pose a biosecurity risk must:

• take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent orminimise each biosecurity risk

• minimise the likelihood of causing a ‘biosecurity event’,and limit the consequences if such an event is caused

The RNA will allow exhibitors to have their animals inspected on property prior to entry to the RNA grounds. All exhibitors who adopt to have their cattle inspected at home must use an accredited certifier and provide the accredited certifier details along with the treatment certificate on entry to the grounds.

All National Health Declarations will be forwarded to Bio Security for their clearance/permission to compete at 2017 Royal Queensland Show. The accredited officer will also provide random tick scratching throughout the show. Any animal found with Cattle Ticks will result in the whole herd from that PIC being sent home. No animal may enter the dairy pavilion unless they have the necessary tick free status. All relevant paper work must be handed to a representative of the RNA. Time of arrival must be advised for animals entering from infested areas on the Final Numbers form and must state details of treatment or untreated animals.
