We have six spots for entrants in a pavlova competition! Esteemed judges Anne Rowse ONZM and Dame Fiona Kidman will judge the winning pavlova based on loftiness, presentation and texture: the crispness of the top and outside, the softness of the base and the chewiness of the middle.<\/p>\n

First prize: the book Anna Pavlova<\/a> by Maria Isabel S\u00e1nchez Vegara from the iconic Little People, Big Dreams series, signed by the competition judges.<\/p>\n

Bonus prize: there will be a bonus prize for a vegan and\/or gluten-free pav or an unusual pav!<\/p>\n
