And the youngest winner will receive an award honouring one of the show kitchen's oldest members, in honour of the late Valmae Burey's memory.

The show, which will also feature monster trucks, is planning to encourage traditional competitors to put a bit of extra into their 2020 entries.

Chief Steward Mary Hollingworth said the show kitchen has a new prize for their youngest bakers, honouring an esteemed show steward.

The most successful overall junior baker will win the Mrs Valmae Burey prize in 2020.

One of last year's big winners, Allegra Pinferi, took home five first prizes and a second and would have won the prize if it existed this year.

She said cooking was a passion - but she enjoyed winning just as much.

"Some cake recipes I know off by heart and that makes it a lot easier."

Mrs Burey was Glen Innes' senior citizen of the year.

Mary Hollingworth said all four junior baking sections will come with a highest point score monetary trophy.

"We are encouraging our junior baking exhibitors to enter the show," she said.

"We're happy to have wonderful new incentives to do that."

"We look forward to even more entries from junior bakers at the 2020 show."

The 2019 show was one of the biggest ever for bakers after reforms to add a cookbook, to make sections more inclusive and to permit new types of food.
