Welcome from the President
The spirit of friendly competition comes alive at the annual Sydney Royal Easter
Show when Australia’s agricultural community gathers to celebrate excellence at
Sydney Showground. It’s an opportunity for old friends to catch up and a place
where Exhibitors can make new acquaintances, extend business networks and
share information.
Agricultural competitions are at the heart of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW
(RAS) charter – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and
prosperous future for our agricultural communities. And while our Sydney Royal
Competitions are focused on striving to promote the best this country has to offer
they also enhance education, offering a sturdy platform where knowledge can be
passed on so the next generation can learn to keep up traditions or build on them innovating for the future.
There’s a pride the whole state can revel in when the best of the best compete in
the city. There’s personal satisfaction to be gained as well. Winning a prestigious
Sydney Royal ribbon can bring commercial benefits to Exhibitors, enabling our
rural communities to remain strong and vibrant. Major award winners at the
Show have the benefit of using Sydney Royal artwork to promote their success in
marketing campaigns.
The integrity of our Sydney Royal competitions rests in the hands of accomplished,
knowledgeable and most importantly independent judges. Every year I’m
impressed by their professionalism, energy and high ethical standards.
If you are not already a Member of the RAS, please consider joining. Membership
provides the perfect opportunity to get the most out of your Show experience.
On behalf of the RAS, I encourage you to take part in the Sydney Royal Easter Show
by entering one of our competitions and wish you the very best of luck.

and only with the consent of the RAS.”

____________________________________________________________________
PERPETUAL TROPHIES
The purpose of competition at the Sydney Royal Easter Show is to encourage agricultural and pastoral excellence, ensuring the
continual improvement of standards. In the 1870s the Society introduced regulations to govern judges and judging to ensure
that competition was consistent and fair, and the tradition of Perpetual Trophies dates back to this time.
The Perpetual Trophies are the most prestigious of all RAS awards. They have a dual function in recognising superior effort in
competition and commemorating people and organisations that have had a long and meritorious connection with the Society.
Some of the trophies currently competed for were first won in 1911. Winners of Perpetual Trophies are permanently honoured,
taking their place alongside past winners and becoming part of the ongoing tradition of the RAS.
The Perpetual Trophy Collection of the RAS is unique. It comprises a wide range of beautiful and elegant trophies that illustrate
an extraordinary history of agricultural judging and the pursuit of excellence.
Enquiries regarding the donation of Perpetual Trophies should be directed to the RAS Heritage Centre.
