Tickets are to attend the Saturday, March 7 Day Session and do not include travel or accommodation.

Any such cost incursions are at the expense of the winner.

Online entries close Monday, February 9, 2026.

Winners will be drawn and contacted by text on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.

The Golden Shears logo has become an internationally recognised trademark that symbolises both quality and excellence in the skilful art of shearing and woolhandling.

The four days of competition encompass novice, junior, intermediate, senior and open shearing, along with novice, junior, senior and open woolhandling, plus singles and pairs wool pressing, as well as the coveted triathlon award.

From the dreams and inspirations of a few enthusiastic young farmers many years ago, the greatest shearing competition in the world was born.
