Get ready, Solomon Islands! The 2025 Annual National Trade Fair (ANTF) is just around the corner, and this year’s competitions promise to be bigger, better, and more inspiring than ever. From June 30th to July 7th, the lively heart of FOPA Village, East Honiara will come alive with colour, creativity, and community spirit as people from across the country gather to compete, connect, and celebrate what makes us strong, our people.
The 2025 ANTF isn’t just a trade fair, it’s a national celebration of local talent, traditional skills, innovation, and unity. With over $90,000 in total prize money up for grabs, the competitions are open to schools, farmers, cooks, crafters, athletes, innovators, dancers, and cultural groups from every corner of the islands.
Why You Should Join
These competitions are more than just a chance to win. They’re a platform to showcase our culture, tell our stories, and uplift our communities. Whether you’re a young student with big ideas, a farmer with the finest produce, or a dance crew ready to battle it out, there’s a category for you:
• School Competitions
• Cooking & Crafts
• Agriculture
• Innovation
• Sports
• Cultural & Entertainment Events (Queen Show, Cultural Dance, Modern Dance Battle)
Each category offers cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, with top prizes of $5,000 to $6,000. It’s a chance to put your name and your community on the map and to be part of something that celebrates the spirit of the Solomons.
