This year we were lucky to run two competitions for #EDB6, a photography competition based on breakfast cereal and a writing competition with three categories! These competitions gave our delegates ample opportunity to submit their best writing pieces and their best styled brekkie bowls. We had over 80 entries for both competitions and we were overwhelmed with how good the entries were. The competitions closed before the conference and having a look at all the entries, we were sure we were up for a weekend with some of the best Aussie food bloggers around.

Once again thank you to our judges: Wendy, Liz, Leigh and Tess – we really appreciate the effort you went to, to read every single entry. It must have been a tough job to come up with winners!

A huge thank you also has to go to our sponsors for providing some amazing prizes: Australian Breakfast Cereal Manufacturers Forum, Baker’s Secret, CorningWare, OXO, The Essential Ingredient Canberra Capital Wines.

The winners were crowned during the official conference dinner at A Baker on Saturday night, but for those who wanted to have a browse through the entries here you go…
