Pumpkin growers across southeast Queensland will soon turn their attention from jack-o'-lanterns to giant gourds, with entries opening today for the Royal Queensland Show’s Giant Pumpkin Competition.
The competition is curriculum-aligned for Prep to Year 10 and helps them learn about agricultural systems.
The competition offers over $2200 in prize money, and judging will take place in the Royal International Convention Centre at the Brisbane Showgrounds in May.
