This award is presented by Greater Hume Shire to the best new Australian designed and manufactured machine. 

 It is judged and presented on the final day of the field days each year. 

 There is no entry requirement for this award. 

Nominations are made by co-operative members unloading the machines. 

 Judges then visit each nominated company during the field days. 

 The machine must be Australian made but can feature imported components or materials.
