Exhibition

Welcome to the soul of the Canning Show! As one of WA’s largest and most accessible exhibitions, our event is a creative wonderland for every member of our community.

Whether you’re a dedicated hobbyist, an aspiring artist, or simply want to spark some friendly competition among your friends, family, or neighbors—this is the place to do it.

When you submit an entry, you aren’t just sharing a passion; you’re joining a legacy of over 120 shows. Our very first Official Agricultural Show in 1909 was a true celebration of local talent, designed to inspire excellence and set a benchmark for the region’s best. We may have traded cattle for crafts and photography over the decades, but every single entry today is celebrated with the same pride as our very first show.

Today, we are proud to be one of WA’s largest and most accessible exhibitions. With entry fees of only $1 for youth and $2 for adults, we want to ensure that absolutely everyone can join in the fun.

What can you enter?

From home cooking and thriving plants to sewing, painting, and photography, our 650+ categories celebrate every kind of talent. Plus, we have dedicated Youth Classes (ages 17 and under) to showcase the incredible capabilities of our younger creators.

All entries will be displayed proudly at the Canning Show, where you can finally see if your chocolate cake managed to beat the neighbor down the road! Along with ultimate bragging rights, there is a share of $19,000 in cash prizes to be won, plus fantastic prizes donated by generous local businesses.
