Recognising, Developing and Celebrating Young Female Leaders in our Communities

2020 Queensland Country Life  Showgirl Awards State Finals Competition is Cancelled

The Queensland Ag Shows Board, by Rotary Resolution, has decided to cancel ALL Queensland Ag Shows State Competition Finals for 2020. Any decision on 2021 eligibility will be determined at a later date. The decision to cancel the 2020 finals was to give some clarity to the position. Shows and Sub-Chambers will now have to determine how this decision applies to their circumstances bearing in mind that there will be no progression to any Queensland State Finals in 2020.

Further information about any 2021 competitions will be provided once the future direction is able to be determined when the full impact of the current situation is known.

The Queensland Country Life Showgirl Awards hosted by Queensland Ag Shows (Showgirl Awards) is a leadership program for all young women engaged in their communities and the agricultural show movement in Queensland. The aim of the Showgirl Awards is to ‘Recognise, Develop and Celebrate Young Female Leaders in our Communities’. The Showgirl Awards allows agricultural shows to engage young women in their communities to develop their leadership skills and confidence to continue their involvement in, and representation of, their agricultural show.

The Queensland Country Life Showgirl Awards has continued to develop since its inception in 1983. Personality, confidence and leadership qualities; ambitions and goals; general knowledge; contextual agricultural knowledge; agricultural show knowledge, insight and commitment; community participation; presentation and public speaking skills are key when selecting a Showgirl.
