Competition Overview
The G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) Competition provides a fun and interactive way for students to learn about food and fibre production through use of the curriculum-linked Australian Good Meat Education resources, while also exploring what makes their local region - showcasing why it is the ‘greatest of all time.’
Students are to use the template provided to create a design that celebrates their local region showcasing why it is the greatest of all time.
Each student will have the opportunity to submit one design. Entries will be judged with 19 finalists selected to receive a life-sized, fibreglass goat (7kg) to display their design. Specifically, the student – with the help of their classmates – will replicate their submitted entry by painting it onto the goat. The 19 goat finalists will be representative of the 19 goats that arrived in Australia on the first fleet back in 1788.
All 19 painted goats remain the property of the RNA and will be returned to the RNA Showgrounds for display at this year’s Ekka.
Students can take inspiration from their family, school, town or local agricultural industry to influence their design. The design must be accompanied with a 20 –100 word explanation to support their artistic direction.
