ABOUT THE EVENT.....

The Barmedman Ute Competition has been running as an annual event since 1998. Originally, the competition was developed in order to aid the success of the Local Show and promote our small country town.

Today is its 13th year. A new attraction this year is the “Country Practice Ute” exclusive to Barmedman. The first time ever to a ute muster. It has been fully restored, some come along and be see “Australia’s Most Famous Ute” and be part of Australia’s beaut ute history.

The success of our event can be attributed to the generous sponsorship and support of local and national businesses and the tireless effort put in by the volunteer helpers and committee of the Barmedman Beaut Ute show.

Utes compete annually for $1000’s dollars worth of prizes and Ute enthusiasts travel from all over the eastern seaboard to compete.

Ten major titles are up for grabs annually along with supplementary prizes for Champion Ute of Show, Best Ford, Best Holden, Most Impressive Stereo, Best Females Ute, Longest Distance Travelled, Most impressive exhaust, and Encouragement awards.

More information on Categories can be viewed under our Judging Criteria page on this website.

While we aim to promote our small country town through this event, our community supports us in return by providing entertainment in town on Saturday night, fuel food and accommodation for those who would rather not swag it.

So come along and we’ll see you in Barmedman on Saturday 3rd September 2011.
