How to enter
Pack your puns full of dairy goodness and email your favourite, cheesiest joke, or come up with some cheesy originals of your own (as many as you can think of) to competitions@kitchengardenfoundation.org.au before midnight on 31 August 2025.
Educators may submit up to 15 individual jokes from their students. Make sure each joke is clearly attributed (first name and age/class, if possible). Entrants under the age of 18 must submit entries via their educator.
The competition opens on 11 August and closes at midnight on 31 August 2025. Winners will be contacted in September.
The prizes
First prize: A Healthy Bones Hamper packed with $1,000 worth of dairy goodness, generously provided by Saputo Dairy Australia. The hamper will be delivered to your school or service (provided you're within a major supermarket delivery area).
Two bonus prize packs, each containing: one Saputo Dairy Australia (SDA) x Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation (SAKGF) tea towel, one SDA x SAKGF cheese grater, one copy of Kitchen Garden Cooking with Kids and one SAKGF x Kip & Co tablecloth.
Take your Japanese korokke to the next level by adding cheese to the potatoes.
