For the first time at the 2011 Cairns Show we held a Scarecrow Competition proudly sponsored by Hasting Deering 

44 Scarecrows of all shapes and sizes lined the walls of the Horticulture Pavilion. You could enter either as a group or as an individual with two class options available Traditional and Open. There were no age limitations!

Traditional - These Scarecrows will be typically old-fashioned figures constructed from throw-aways from the farm such as clothing, hay, stuffing, burlap, farm implements, or farm produce (corn husks, vegetables, pumpkins, etc.)

Open – Themed Scarecrows such as Indigenous, Show, Famous People, Jobs, Funny, Scary, Australiana, Environmental

Congratulations to our winning Scarecrows and thank you to everyone who took part.

We look forward to seeing what Scarecrows appear at the 2012 Show.

Schedule and entry details for the 2012 Scarecrow Competition will be available in the New Year
