Photographs of Minors

If your exhibit includes photographs of identifiable people, particularly children, please refer to the Privacy & Consent section below before submitting your entry.

The Kilcoy Show respects the privacy of all exhibitors and members of the community.

If your exhibit includes an identifiable person, you are responsible for ensuring you have the appropriate permission to display and exhibit that image.

Where an exhibit includes a photograph of a child under 18 years of age who is not your own child, you must obtain permission from the child's parent or legal guardian before entering the exhibit.

Competitors entering photographs of a minor who is not their own child must confirm on the General Entry Form that they have obtained the appropriate permission.

The Society reserves the right to refuse or remove any exhibit where appropriate consent cannot be demonstrated or where privacy concerns are identified.

Many competitions require an official entry form in addition to the information contained within the Schedule.

Entry forms are available for general pavilion entries and selected livestock and competition Sections.

Please ensure you use the correct form for your competition.

Each competition Section has its own Schedule outlining:
