We're proud to announce the winners of our Youth Makers Competition for 2026. Launched in June 2023, this competition continues to support small business growth, and help the next generation take bold steps on their business journey.    
 

This year, 24 young people pitched their brain children to a panel of expert judges and 15 winners were chosen based on criteria like innovation, viability and sustainability. They're now in the process of being mentored on the business of retail by leaders at Woolies.

Love. Support. Grow Local.  
 

Get the chance to purchase a few proudly local goods for yourself or your loved ones and meet our winners in person on the second weekend of each event.
