RQFWS Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Competition 

The Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show (RQFWS) Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Competition was the first in the country dedicated to judging the best in sorbets, gelato and ice cream. Since its introduction in 2011 as a standalone competition, entry numbers have remained high, confirming it as one of the nation's premier dairy competitions.

Renowned international food judge, cheesemaker and dairy connoisseur, Russell Smith, will again be Chief Judge of the Ice Cream, Gelato & Sorbet Competition.

Russell Smith, who has more than 20 years experience in the industry, will oversee an expert judging panel made up of some of Australia’s most respected and experienced food industry professionals.

Don’t miss this opportunity to have your products judged at the highest level, by some of the nation’s top dairy judges. The products are judged on their flavour, aroma, body, texture and presentation.

Join us in celebrating Australia’s finest produce - this is a unique branding opportunity for your business, so make sure you don’t miss out.

Entries will open on Monday 19 February 2018.
