George FM Makita Tradie Wars 2026
CALLING ALL TRADIES!
George FM Makita Tradie Wars is BACK and it’s bigger & better than ever before…
This year the LIVE Grand Final will be taking place inside the Makita exhibit at Fieldays - Friday June 12th at Mystery Creek Events Centre in Hamilton. Hosted by Lee, Beccie B & Searley doing the entire George Breakfast live.
This is where the top 5 finalists, each representing a different trade, will battle it out for $2,000 worth of Makita tools. $500 CASH and the coveted George FM Makita Tradie Wars Trophy!
To narrow down our finalists, we’ll have one week of daily on-air challenges with George Breakfast, where the winner each day will advance through to the Grand Final.
And not to worry! If you make it as one of the finalists, we’ll cover your travel & accommodation costs to get you to and from Hamilton for the live Grand Final. PLUS your company will receive free shouts across on-air and our socials. You also won’t walk away empty handed as the Makita crew will hook you up with a Makita Powertool for your efforts.
