Why Should I Enter?

The Australian Food Awards is Australia’s leading national food awards program, celebrating excellence and recognising the best Australian food producers across major categories, including Dairy, Smallgoods, and Preserves. In 2025, we are re-introducing the Meat category to the Awards.
