Attention Perth Primary Schools!

Get your students excited about creativity and agriculture with the Perth Royal Show’s 2025 Scarecrow Competition: Shearing Shed Shenanigans!

This year, we’re celebrating the mighty Merino and all things sheep, wool, shearing, and stitched! Be inspired by shearers in action, fluffy sheepdogs, woolly hats, fashionable fleece creations, and the many wonders of WA’s wool industry.

This fun and educational competition is designed to engage young minds and raise awareness about where our fibres come from. It celebrates the hard work of the farming and agriculture industry, which plays a crucial role in feeding and clothing not just Western Australia, but the entire country.

Open to all Western Australian primary schools, the competition provides a fantastic opportunity for students to unleash their creativity while learning about one of WA’s oldest and most important agricultural industries in a hands-on way. Best of all, entry is completely free!

Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place, along with two highly commended awards and a ‘People’s Choice’ award for both K–2 and Years 3–6 age groups.
