One winner per category will be awarded a fantastic Profoline prize pack valued at $519.80 (Griddle, Braising Pan, Milk Pan, PushPan (22cm), PushPan (26cm) and Bakers Mitt) plus books from Wakefield Press valued at $300.

Entries for the photography competition will be based on eligible blog posts published within the past 6 months, and there are three categories and prizes:

Unlike many blogging conferences, Eat Drink Blog is completely free for delegates to attend. This is only made possible because of the volunteer organising committee and the support of sponsors and partners.

So we’d like to say a huge thank you to all of the companies and organisations who have partnered with us this year to ensure that Eat Drink Blog 3 is our biggest conference yet.

In particular, we’d like to acknowledge our three major sponsors: the South Australian Tourism Commission, the Adelaide Central Market and the Adelaide City Council through its Splash Adelaide programme.
