Entries are open for the inaugural Australian International Olive Awards, Australia’s first and only global olive competition. Replacing the Australian National Olive Competition, the AOA’s annual competition this year becomes an international event, including oil and table olive entries from both northern and southern hemisphere producers.
The judging panel offers a wealth of global olive competition experience, bringing together top Australian and international judges from the USA, Japan, Argentina and New Zealand. Competition will no doubt be tough, with strong interest already being shown for the new ‘international’ standing of the competition – not to mention the increased opportunities for marketing and promotion of winning oils.
Key dates:
- Entries are now open
- Closing date for both oil and table olive entries is 8 September
- Winners will be announced at the 2017 AOA Conference Dinner on 10 October in Adelaide, South Australia.
