Should our responses to the challenges factor in any sort of budget?
Wine Australia have stated that they don’t wish for a ‘set budget’ to be a hinderance to the creativity of your proposals and solutions. Please continue to think outside of the box!
One of the teams requested any statistics Wine Australia may have on winery/grower business size and location.
To assist with this query, please see Wine Australia’s attachments and additional information below:
Page 8 of the Vintage Report 2021 gives a summary of the number of wineries by crush size. Page 18 of the SA state summary (2022) gives the number of growers in SA by vineyard size and region. Wine Australia estimates that there are about 5500 growers in Australia, and would speculate anecdotally that the profile is biased a bit more towards smaller growers in the other states. The excel spreadsheet provides the number of winery facilities by region – based on cellar door locations as recorded in the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (2020). It’s likely to underestimate the total number of wineries by around 20%, but it would include most of the larger ones. There are between 1600 and 2000 winemaking businesses in Australia, but it depends how you define such an entity.
Can we have a copy of the Day 1 presentations?
Yes you may! Please find links to the following below:
- Wine Australia | Information Session
- Prof. Uwe Dulleck | Behavioural Insights
- Prof. Rebekah Russell-Bennett | Co-Design
I cannot access the recommended reading (Abbott, T., Longbottom, M., Wilkes, E., Johnson, D. (2016) Assessing the environmental credentials of Australian wine, Wine and Viticulture Journal, Jan/Feb 2016). Can you provide a link to this?
Yes, this reading can be found HERE.
Are there any judging criteria for the presentations?
Yes, there will be judging criteria for the presentations.
The 5 categories that your presentations will be judged against are:
- Originality

- Meeting the brief
- Presentation skills
You can view the judging CRA by clicking HERE.
Can the challenge be tailored per state, or should we consider the whole of Australia?
The preference is to consider the whole of Australia.
- Should teams wish to tailor per state, consideration should be given to scaling nationally if not all states are included in the response*.
- Alternatively, should teams wish to tailor by region the most appropriate approach is to consider the 11 distinct grape and wine regional clusters used in Wine Australia’s Regional Program https://www.wineaustralia.com/research/in-practice/regional-program#6
- For general information, a map of all Australian wine regions can be found here: https://www.wineaustralia.com/australian-wine-discovered-maps
*wine grape growing and production does not occur in the Northern Territory
Do we need to submit the two-pager prior to the event, if so by when?
You do need to submit a two-pager (one a4 page, double-sided), but this doesn’t have to occur until the day of the presentations (15th September). We ask that all teams submit this by no later than 8.30am on the day of the presentations. This document will be used by the judges to help inform their decisions.
Do slides need to be provided prior to the event?
Same as above. The slides are due by 8.30am on the day of the presentations at the latest.
Can you make changes to the slides on the day?
Once the slides have been submitted, for fairness, you will not be able to make any further changes.
What is the duration of the presentation slot, and does it include time for Q&A?
Each team will have 8-10min for their presentation and an additional 5min for Q&A.
Are Edge Environment attending the Nudgeathon?
Not at this stage. However we can update you if this changes.
What nights do BEST cover for accommodation for Nudgeathon?
BEST will cover the nights of the 13th and 14th – with you checking out on the 15th (the last day).
What time does the event start of the first day?
Nudgeathon will open registrations at 12pm on the 13th, and the event will start at 1pm. The event will close on the 15th at 3pm.
Is the event location walking distance from the Crowne Plaza?
The walk from the Crawford School to the hotel is approximately 28min.
For our teams staying at the Crowne Plaza Canberra we have organised a group transport service. The departure times for this service are limited, so please ensure you are ready to catch the bus at the designated times below:
