exhibitors depends on information provided to
us. If you confirm that you are GST registered

plus 10% GST. We will provide you with a
Recipient Created Tax Invoice which you will
need to submit to the Australian Taxation Office.

your agreement to the following:
• You will not issue a tax invoice to the
RA&HS in respect to prize money received;

registered business and supply your ABN

the RA&HS to withhold 48.5% of your prize

therefore assumes no liability for actions taken
as a result of these guidelines. In any instances
where an entrant or sponsor is uncertain of
the tax implications of their involvement, they
should consult their own accountant or tax
advisor.

all prizes listed are accurate at the time of

as stated above. It is the responsibility of the

CATS
THE SOCIETY ROYAL ADELAIDE SHOW
Sponsorship is an integral part of the Royal Adelaide Show –
without it, we wouldn’t be able to run the 60-plus competitive
sections that attract over 30,000 entries each year.
However, it isn’t just large businesses that get behind the Show –
hundreds of small businesses, clubs and individuals sponsor prizes
in our competitive sections.
Royal Show general manager Michelle Hocking said the Show
had strong relationships with many South Australian businesses, all
of whom play a vital role in ensuring the continued success of our
State’s largest event.
“From our presenting partner sponsor IGA to premier partners
Channel Seven, Coca-Cola and BankSA, right through to small
businesses who sponsor particular prizes or awards, the support
from the South Australian community is wonderful,” she said.
I sponsor a prize at the Royal
Adelaide Show to return something to the
Society i.e. Dairy Goat Society of Australia and the
RA&HS; as both have offered me opportunity to travel
Australia as a Dairy Goat Judge, meeting great friends and
having many unique experiences. My first Royal Show
was in 1960 and I was recently awarded a 50 year
continuous membership reconition badge with the
Dairy Goat Society of Australia both of
which I am extremely proud.
Bob Battams – Dairy Goats
“However, in addition to the many businesses who support the
Show, there are lots of community groups and individuals who
sponsor the Show’s competitive section.
According to Michelle, individuals, community groups and
businesses can sponsor a prize from as little as $50.
“The prize can be in the form of cash, a medallion, trophy, voucher
or product,” she said. “You also get to name the prize after your
business, group or even yourself. You can also dedicate it to a
loved one or name it in memory of someone special.”
With competitions ranging from flowers, cuddly toys and painting
to dragsters, woodwork and reptiles, there really is a section
for everyone.
“Perhaps your mum baked the best cakes, maybe your family
loves a particular breed of dog, or perhaps you simply love
chocolate,” Michelle said.
“For example, the RA&HS chief executive has a passion for
chocolate and therefore sponsors the Champion Chocolate prize;
our sponsorship manager loves cats and names a prize after her
pet cat Felice and our venue manager has naming rights to the
Champion Turkey!
“Our competitive sections are the lifeblood of the Show and
sponsoring a prize is a fun way to get involved.”
