-6-2018 Competition Rules A separate entry form is to be completed for each class entered. Entries cannot have been previously exhibited or entered, into any previous competition or show, nor can pictures of your entry be published on any form of social media prior to judging. Exhibits must be the sole work of the exhibitor/s. Cleats must be attached to all competition cakes and must be a minimum of 12mm thick (size of a standard Masonite board). Cleats are a base board (smaller than the presentation board) or feet glued to the underneath side of the presentation board. A cleat is hidden under the presentation board. It elevates the presentation board for ease of handling. Only one entry is allowable per person in each class. However, you may enter as many classes as you wish. Edible pearls, gems, cachous, modeling chocolate, food safe lustres and metallic finishes are permitted. Maximum presentation board size in all categories is 60cm x 60cm UNLESS otherwise specified for that class. All presentation boards should be in proportion to the size of the exhibit. No part of your exhibit should protrude beyond the area of your presentation board. There is NO HEIGHT LIMIT in any class except in the miniature class or unless specified for that class. In most classes dummies are permitted, however your entry must be achievable in cake. Read class notes as some categories require cake. Internal structures must be food safe. Boards are defined as a common base on which the exhibit rests. They may be covered as a matter of choice. All entries must be presented on a base (presentation) board. Vases, pots or containers where used are competitor s choice. These may be made of sugar; however, this isn t essential.

This way you will plan and produce an incredible masterpiece. Extra copies of Entry forms which include the rules, judges information sheets etc. are all on our website www.http://acada.com.au. There is an area on the competition page of ACADA s website for you to ask our Chief Steward questions. You are very welcome to use this.

If travelling from overseas or to Brisbane from Interstate, look on YouTube for the best ways to pack your cake. Competitors often travel worldwide to compete in cake decorating competitions, if packed appropriately, your entry will remain safe. Our website includes accommodation options. Rydges Hotel Fortitude Valley is ideally located right next door to the ICSA venue. Australian immigration laws allow you to bring sugar based products into Australia. Please make sure you declare your entry on the immigration forms you will be given just prior to disembarking your flight.

-14- Class 23 COLLAB AUSTRALIA A Global Online Collaboration (with show option) One Sweet Step at a Time What does this mean to you? The modern human race has evolved from vastly different countries. We have diversely different histories, heritage, religions, societies, languages, foods, lifestyle and beliefs. Our backgrounds have inspired artists, poets, authors, and song composers, movie makers and theatre producers, the Arts, playwrights and dance performers through to intrepid travelers and explorers wanting to uncover the mysteries hidden since the beginning of time. Inspiration created through our differences, extends even further back in history to a point where there was no documentation only marks and hieroglyphics scratched into rocks depicting mysteries and special stories. Here on Earth we share the same issues, climate and vast environmental change, concerns and natural disasters, humanity and compassion for mankind. Across the world, we have seen how a disaster brings out the very best in human nature. We have all suffered directly or indirectly from the wars and atrocities of our forefathers, and yet we re still here persevering in this new age of technology and breakthroughs, which at one point in time were considered sci fi. There have been so many changes in which we as humans have had to adapt. Yet, do we have what it takes to preserve our Earth from the direction mankind has taken it? We as Cake Artists share the same amazing creative pursuit the drive to create. Now and then a great chance like this

-15- comes along to tell amazing stories through our work. We have a genuine ability touch people and provoke thought and change, through our great Art. ACADA has decided this year, to let you tell the entire world your version of your own story. Let our wonderful 2018 Collab Australia be your chance to speak through your art, tell us (the world) your hopes and your fears for our future here on Earth, interpret this theme to your best ability. We believe this is a brilliant theme as it lets you create from the very best starting point from your heart! Create something that will help to unite the world. If we each create one piece, and once the competition has finished, share them widely, who knows we may be able to change the world and unite humanity, One Sweet Step at a Time Collab Australia Guidelines: Individuals or teams of 2-4 people can participate. This Collaboration is open globally to all cake artists. This is an ONLINE Collaboration, however there is an additional prize for the best Collaboration piece exhibited live at the show in Brisbane (please read prizes above). Once you have entered, and paid your entrance fee online you will be redirected to the private Collab Australia Face Book Group page, where you will join and get to know many of the world s most amazing cake artists. Once within this group, our Collab Australia master mind Shayne Greenman will mentor and guide you.

-16- ADDITIONAL NOTES: Delivery of Exhibits: All exhibitors/competitors must register at the Stewards desk upon arrival when dropping off their exhibits at the show. You will be allocated a place within the competition area to set your exhibit up.
