The qualifier

How you get a spot

Spots at the live attempt are limited, so we're choosing challengers on the strength of a filmed qualifying round. Here's the whole process.

01

Film your minute

One continuous take, no edits. Weigh your strawberries on camera, eat for 60 seconds, then weigh what's left.

02

Post it publicly

Upload the video to your own Facebook or Instagram account and set the post to public so we can watch it.

03

Submit the link

Fill in the form below with your details, the link to your post and the weight you got through. $10 entry fee applies.

04

Get the call

We review every entry. If you're selected, you reserve your spot at the live attempt and go for the record in front of the adjudicator.

Non-negotiable

Your qualifying video

Guinness World Records™ attempts come down to evidence. Your qualifier needs to be verifiable, which means we have to be strict about how it's filmed. It also has to be eaten the same way the live attempt runs — one hand, one strawberry at a time. Entries that don't follow these rules can't be considered.

Film it like this

  1. 1Weigh the strawberries on camera first. Put your bowl on a set of scales and hold the reading steady and readable to the camera before you start.
  2. 2Show the clock. Start a visible timer or stopwatch in frame, or count yourself in clearly so the 60 seconds can be verified.
  3. 3One hand only, one strawberry at a time. Your other hand stays behind your back and in shot for the whole minute. Lift a single strawberry, then the next — you can have more than one in your mouth, but you may only ever pick up one at a time.
  4. 4Eat for exactly one minute. Stay in frame the whole time. Your hands, the bowl and your face need to stay visible.
  5. 5Weigh again on camera. The moment time is called, put what's left back on the scales and hold the reading steady to the camera.
  6. 6Swallow everything. Show an empty mouth at the end — anything not swallowed doesn't count toward your weight.
  7. 7Post it publicly on your Facebook or Instagram, then copy the link into the form below.
Work out your result: starting weight minus finishing weight = the amount you consumed. Enter that number in kilograms on the form — for example 0.85 kg.
Practise it the way you'll have to do it. The live attempt on event day runs one-handed, one strawberry at a time — so film your qualifier under exactly the same rules. Train with two hands and you'll be training for the wrong contest.

What gets you disqualified

  • Any edit, cut, splice or speed change. It must be one unbroken take from the first weigh-in to the last.
  • Scales you can't read on camera, or a weigh-in that happens off screen.
  • Using both hands, or lifting more than one strawberry at once. Your free hand stays behind your back and in frame for the full minute.
  • Leaving the frame at any point during the minute.
  • Spitting out, storing in the cheeks, or not swallowing before time is called.
  • A private or restricted post we can't open from the link you give us.
  • Anything unsafe. Look after yourself — this is meant to be fun.
Your qualifying video is for selection only. The official record can only be set live on event day, in front of the Guinness World Records™ adjudicator.
Straight up about money

What it costs to enter

Two separate fees, and you only ever pay the second one if you're actually selected.

Step one · Everyone
$10
To submit your qualifying video

A $10 AUD entry fee is payable when you submit the form below. It covers the review and verification of your video and confirms your entry into the qualifying round.

Paid once, at submission. Entries without payment aren't reviewed.

This is not an event ticket. You'll also need admission to get on the farm — adult (15+) $20, child (5–14) $10, concession $15, under 5s free.
Step two · Only if selected
$300
To reserve your spot at the live attempt

If you're chosen to officially challenge the one-minute record in front of the adjudicator on event day, a further $300 AUD is required to reserve your place on the stage.

Only payable if you're selected. You'll be contacted directly with payment details and a deadline.

Questions

Challenger FAQ

Why do I need to submit a video at all?

Spots on the stage are limited and the live attempt has to run to a tight schedule on the day. The qualifying video lets us select challengers who can genuinely go after the record, and it gives everyone a fair shot no matter where in the country they are.

Does my qualifying video set the record?

No. The official Guinness World Records™ attempt can only happen live on event day, in front of the adjudicator, with stewards and witnesses present. Your video is purely for selection.

What scales should I use?

Ordinary kitchen scales are fine. What matters is that the reading is clearly visible and readable on camera at both the start and the end, and that the bowl doesn't leave the frame between weigh-ins.

Can I submit more than one video?

Yes — each submission needs its own form and its own $10 entry fee. We'll consider your best verified result.

Is there an age limit?

No age limit. Challengers under 18 need a parent or guardian to consent, and every selected challenger completes a health and safety declaration before competing.

Is the $10 refundable?

The $10 entry fee covers reviewing and verifying your video, so it isn't refundable once your entry has been assessed. The $300 reservation fee only ever applies if you're selected.

What happens if I'm selected?

We'll contact you by email and phone with the details, the $300 reservation instructions and a deadline. You'll get a full briefing on the rules, timings and where to be on the day.

Do I still need an event ticket?

Yes. Your $10 challenge entry is for the qualifying round only — it doesn't get you onto the farm. Book admission separately — adult (15+) $20, child (5–14) $10, concession $15, under 5s free — so you can get in on the day and be counted for the picking record too. Every admission ticket also includes strawberries to pick and take home.
