Welcome from the President
With a proud history of running competitions for the benefit of breeders,
producers and craftspeople going back to 1823, the Royal Agricultural Society
of NSW today welcomes entries from right across Australia to be judged at the
Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Our competitions were established to improve the quality of produce and
animal breeds and that has not changed over the past 200 years. Our vision is
for a community that understands and values sustainable Australian agriculture
and award-quality produce, and this vision is fulfilled with each entry in our
competitions.

Initially, we assessed livestock before adding tobacco, coffee, wine, and
precious stones and diamonds in our early years. As the young colony of New
South Wales evolved, we added domestic pets, arts and crafts, foodstuffs and
even ostriches were judged in 1882.

Your decision to enter this competition ensures your place in our history. You
are taking your place along with more than 30,000 others with a willingness to
be judged and assessed, and introduces your entry to Showgoers, consumers,
exhibitors and our highly regarded judges.

Sydney Royal competitions evolve and progress each year, in part due
to the innovation and enthusiasm of competitors, and also in response to
consumer and industry trends. It is this spirit that saw us introduce, amongst
others, classes for canaries (1873), woodchopping (1899), potato crops (1927),
campdraft (1934), and even pedigree guinea pigs (1977). This willingness to
change and grow guarantees Sydney Royal medals remain relevant, valued,
and worth striving for.

Winning an award in a Sydney Royal competition confirms the exceptional
standard of your entry and provides marketing opportunities on many levels.
It is an incredible acknowledgement of your hard work and dedication as
judged by our esteemed panels of judges. As I thank you for considering our
competitions, I also thank our judges, stewards, sponsors, committees and
supporters.

Whether your entry is awarded a ribbon or not, I hope that you enjoy and
ultimately benefit from this Sydney Royal experience, and I wish you the very
best of luck.

Michael Millner
