There’s never been a better time to dust off your apron and start perfecting your baking skills!

For the second year running, Queensland Ag Shows have introduced an exciting new competition for entrants aged 18-40 years. The ANZAC BISCUIT – NEXT GENERATION COMPETITION. Our winner will be invited to compete at the Sub-Chamber competition in April 2027.

Many thanks to our Major Sponsor Prowler Proof for their commitment to Cookery.

Gratitude also goes to businesses – Savages Coffee, for contributing for many years and supporting the “Coffee Biscuits” class; Lily’s Artisan who is making the Bread category possible; QCWA Brookfield Branch for creating the Theme: Strawberry category to celebrate the QCWA’s Primary Product of the Year and Sprinks for allowing us to judge ‘Special Prizes’!
