The Australian Garlic Awards are designed to foster knowledge and awareness of garlic Groups. Different types of garlic have been specifically developed or selected for certain traits. These might include flavour profile, bulb size, storage characteristics, or adaptability to various climates and growing conditions. By recognising different garlic Groups, the awards aim to celebrate the diversity and quality of Australian-grown garlic and support growers in their efforts to produce top-quality crops.

The purpose of the awards is manyfold:
– It is an Australian wide award program that is dedicated to promoting Australian garlic excellence, with experts judging against the true characteristics of a garlic Group.
– All entrants receive feedback on how their garlic ranks against the characteristics of its Garlic group.
– Award winners are able to use their medal toolkit as a recognised national brand for marketing their garlic to consumers.
– The award competition is open to commercial Australian growers.
– There is total entrant anonymity.
