Normally, late entries will be reserved for exhibits which win a qualifying award after the closing date for timely entries. To minimise the number of late entries and avoid late entry fees, Exhibitors are invited to enter non-award exhibits in an appropriate non-award class, subject to meeting all entry requirements for that class. If an exhibit wins a qualifying award after the closing date for entries, Exhibitors at their discretion may request that the exhibit be transferred to an appropriate award class.

- Late entries: $120
How to Complete the Application for Entry
- Exhibitors must consult the detailed list of Entries by Class (see Schedule, clause 19) to decide which classes they wish to enter.
- If an Exhibitor enters more than one exhibit in a class, the exhibits in that class must be numbered sequentially in the application.
- Description of Exhibits: please complete all fields that apply, as stated on the exhibit’s actual or intended commercial label. The exact commercial name of each exhibit, consistent with the actual or intended commercial label, must be stated for inclusion in the Catalogue of Results.
- Single Vineyard Section: the name of the Single Vineyard from which the exhibit is sourced must be stated, exactly as shown on the commercial label.
- Table Wines, Sparkling Wines, Sweet White Fortified and Ruby or Vintage Fortified Wines: The predominant variety or varieties and corresponding percentage composition must be stated. Please list varieties in descending percentage order. This information will be used to check entries against class specifications and assist with judging but will not be published in the Catalogue of Results.
- Volume at time of entry: exact quantities in units according to class specifications should be stated. Approximate quantities (e.g. 650+ dozen) may be stated so long as it is clear that the volume declared meets minimum class requirements. Stated volumes may be audited.
