Young participants urged to get involved with Harvey Show with submission of exhibitions in various categories

When it comes to exhibitions in a country agricultural show, the default thought for many people is a granny receiving a prize for the best sponge cake.

Despite the stereotype, the Harvey Show has several exhibition categories open exclusively for children and young people to enter.

With the school holidays just around the corner, local students are being asked to consider putting in an entry to this year’s show.

There is a dedicated children’s section at the show, which can entered by those of all ages under 18.

For the younger entrants, they will be able to show off their festive decorations, Lego, paintings and drawings.

Older age groups can enter handmade greeting cards, themed scrap books, T-Shirt art and metalwork creations.

There are also specific exhibition categories for junior entrants in other sections at the show.

The photography section has eight entries options open for both the under 13 years and 13-15 year old age groups, while the flowers and cooking sections both have categories from under 5 years to under 16 years.

A woodwork category is open for those between 16 and 18 years old in the arts and crafts section.

Most entry costs are between 50¢ and $2, with several great prizes to be won.
