At the end of the competition Entry Period (10th January, 2022, 1:00pm AEST), the online voting system will close.

Of the top ten, three entries will be selected as winners by the Judge. The judge of the Major Prize Winners is a panel of representatives from Fair Dinkum Builds and all gold and silver level sponsors of the Promotion (Major Prize Judge). Entries will be judged according to the following criteria:

  1. Creativity
