Get together with some mates and see what a team effort can produce between now and judging day, Saturday 29 January. Entry form attached - please pass it on to your contacts too. Entry is free and if you get stuck the internet has plenty of Vegemite(R) ideas to get you started. Spread the Vegemite(R), spread the word!
