YOUTH COMPETITION CLASSES The Show is the state’s largest classroom and offers a range of interactive agricultural learning experiences and curriculum aligned educational competitions. Among the 46 competitions on offer at the Ekka, there are several open to young people and these explore food production, technology, innovation, and environmental agricultural practices. Our competitions give Queensland youth the opportunity to have a fun, hands- on experience while learning how agriculture plays an essential role in their everyday lives.
