Where can I find a giant pumpkin competition?
Many small local shows and larger state shows (such as the Ekka in QLD and Sydney Royal Easter Show in NSW) have giant pumpkin competitions. You can check the show schedules on their websites, and many local shows also have a category for giant pumpkins.
There are also stand-alone competitions such as the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival in QLD, Kootingal Pumpkin Festival in NSW, Collector Village Pumpkin Festival in NSW, Summerland Pumpkin Competition at Kyogle in NSW, Boort-Yando Giant Pumpkin Challenge in VIC, Murray River Giant Pumpkin Competition at the Cadell Harvest Festival in SA, Dwellingup Pumpkin Festival in WA and other local competitions.
