$1500 First Prize! HOG INCLUDED in entry fee! The prestigious Whole Hog Competition! This stand alone category is separate from the ABA Comp and does not contribute to your Grand Champion scores. Your HOG IS INCLUDED as part of your entry fee, a top grade animal sourced from our region's best producers (will be 25, 35 or 45kg - you choose). This category isn't for the faint hearted! Separate Judging process, separate presentation and serving process. It's the king of all BBQ Competition categories! (Limited to 10 places!)

Think you've got what it takes to cook a Championship BBQ Dish? Well let's taste it! To enter the competition you just have to follow a few simple rules which you'll find on our website. With this ticket you'll have a tent on the oval with the patrons and the music. We ask you to please cook extra meat and give it away to patrons to taste and judge for themselves, for which we ask patrons to make donations to charity. It's a fun way to raise much needed funds and share the barbecue love! Camp site included if you're cooking overnight.

For serious competitors who only want to cook and don't like a lot of patrons asking lots of questions. With this ticket you'll have a tent OFF the oval away from the patrons and the music. Camp site included for those cooking overnight. Free entry to the Festival for your whole team and families!

Do you love good, smokey, tangy barbecue? How about sitting down to three hours of the best barbecue this country can rustle up? As a Judge you will be trained and officially registred as an ABA Judge and can then offer to judge in any BBQ Comp around Australia. But this is a commitment. You'll need to be on site at 8.30am on Saturday 18th August for training or orientation. First plates come off at 10am and it's non stop meat till 2pm. We'll have 50 teams competing this year in five meat categories - Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork, Beef and Whole Hog! It's heaven for meat lovers! (Current ABA certified Judges can register via the ABA. All judges must resit the training course.)
