The RNA’s prestigious Royal Queensland Awards (RQA) is a celebration of the nation’s finest produce and producers. As one of the most prestigious food, wine and beer awards in Australia, the RQA is dedicated to unearthing the nation’s top food, beer and wine products year after year. The RNA’s mission, since 1875, is to celebrate and champion the essential role that agriculture plays in our everyday lives. We do this by showcasing and rewarding those judged the finest in their fields through our revered RQA competitions and the iconic and beloved Royal Queensland Show (know as the Ekka).
