Fancy A Good Pie? Here’s How You Can Win 100 Of Them In The National Pies’ Hottest Pie Hundred Competition

National Pies’ Hottest Pie Hundred Competition is back and better than ever, offering up 100 pies and 100 beers to one lucky winner who votes in their favourite pie-themed song competition.

The competition is held by Tasmanian heritage business National Pies, who have been baking fresh pies daily in Hobart and bringing joy to people’s lives (and full bellies) since 1942. For the Hottest Pie Hundred Competition, the business gathers 100 of the best pie-themed songs into a Spotify playlist, each said to be filled with “the same flavour and joy as a bite of a National Pie”. They then urge people to vote for which song reigns supreme above the rest, and in return, go in the running to win 100 delicious National Pies and 100 beers.

CEO of National Pies Geraldine Tebbutt said in a press release that the team are excited to give this competition a spin once again after receiving more 3000 entries in 2024.

“We were really overwhelmed by how many people loved our pie-themed playlist in 2024. Thousands of people entered the National Pies competition and voted for their favourite pie song. Now we’re excited to continue the tradition, and we hope pie lovers across the country will enjoy the new Hottest Pie Hundred playlist for 2025!” she said.

“So many fans get a real kick out of listening to our playlist during summer road trips, on the beach, or at their backyard barbeques. But of course, the best way to enjoy the tunes is while you’re snacking on a National Pie,”

“While this year’s list still includes the classics everyone knows and loves such as Don McLean’s American Pie, we have added some fun new pie songs such as Berry Pie from Dolly Parton, Shoefly Pie by Zac Brown Band and It’s a Wonderful Day for Pie from the cast of Family Guy.”

Other entries on the playlist include hits from The Beatles, NRBQ, John Fogerty, Frank Sinatra and The Wayfarers. Scattered throughout the playlist are six songs about cherry pie, seven songs about apple pie and four renditions of Pie In The Sky. 

If you want to get in on the fun and go into the running to win the ideal Aussie summer culinary prize, you will have to visit the National Pies’ Instagram or Facebook and follow them. A link will then be provided to the Hottest Pie Hundred Competition where you can cast your vote for the most delicious pie tune and automatically be entered into the draw to win. The winner will be announced on National Pie Day on Thursday, 23rd of January 2025.

Voting is now open and closes on the 19th of January 2025 for Australian residents aged 18 years or older. Don’t forget to tag your friends (maybe they’ll hand you a slice of the pie in return). Happy voting!
