ASWGA recognises industry excellence by facilitating and supporting wool competitions both regionally and nationally.

ASWGA holds an annual national Fleece Competition. These awards are divided into four categories to better represent traditional fine crimping wools. Based on the Bradford score the categories are 90s and finer, 80s, 74s and 70s. Scores are given for the fleece attributes of weight, quality, yield, trueness, uniformity evenness and excellence.

Winners are announced from each ASWGA region:

Ararat-Barunah, Goulburn-Yass, Hamilton, Mudgee, New England, Tasmania and Western Australia.

The 2025-26 Competition is now Open and Accepting Entries!
