‘DIG YOUR DINNER’ NSW Schools Competition

‘DIG YOUR DINNER’ NSW Schools Competition

Make a stand against the bland! Celebrate good food, as it should be with all its bumps and imperfections. Grow it for real, from budding seed to brimming plate and join in on the quest for taste!

Following the success of last years ʻDig Your Dinnerʼ competition, the Organic Expo & Green Show are delighted to announce we are running this fun and inspiring competition again as part of our commitment to encourage future generations to lead a healthier and more sustainable life.

Schools across NSW are invited to join in the challenge and ʻDig Your Dinnerʼ. A fun and easy competition to show how simple it is to grow your own food, free from artificial nasties. There are two categories in which to enter: 1. Pre-schools/Primary Schools 2. Secondary Schools/Colleges (dependent on entry numbers these may be split further).

Your school will grow your favourite seasonal vegetables and herbs and nurture them into a bountiful crop in time for the Organic Expo & Green Show. You will then bring the best of your produce to the show creatively displayed in a wheelbarrow (competition to be judged on Saturday 6 August 2011).

• Celebrity TV gardener Costa Georgiadis will be there to meet your school and judge the best vegetables
• Costa will use the winning veggies in a cooking demonstration showing how you can create a delicious, healthy and inexpensive family meal
• The winning schools will become the ʻDig Your Dinner Champions NSW 2011ʼ and Costa will present you with a trophy and prizes
