Showgirl and Junior & Mini Showgirl
Over the past 40 years, the Queensland Showgirl Awards has been recognised for developing young female leaders and shaping them into women of influence in their local or wider communities. The Queensland Country Life Showgirl Awards are hosted at all levels of the agricultural show movement in Queensland–at a local level, at a regional (sub chamber) level, and at a State level coinciding with the Royal Queensland Show in August.
The Theodore Show Society recognise the role young women play in sustaining the vibrancy in our community and wish to recognise and develop our young female leaders in order for them to continue to grow and give back to our community, or whichever community lies in their future!
We welcome nominations for the Miss Showgirl and Miss Junior Showgirl from all young women in our community.
Rural Ambassador Award
The Queensland Rural Ambassador Awards is the preeminent rural and agricultural leadership program for men and women aged between 20 and 30. Run by Queensland Ag Shows since 2003, the Queensland Rural Ambassador Awards allow young people to promote Queensland, agriculture, rural communities and show societies, while providing an avenue for local communities and Ag Shows to recognise, celebrate and develop future leaders.
Entrants participate in a program that is designed to help them grow, network, develop their skills and hone their ambitions, giving them the confidence to return to their communities and industries and assume leadership positions. One attribute the finalists have in common is an enduring commitment to and involvement in their communities. Most have grown up with ag shows in their blood and are significant contributors to their local shows.
The Queensland Rural Ambassador Awards bring together eleven finalists annually who represent eleven regions across the state (Burnett, Central Highlands, Central North West, Central Queensland, Darling Downs, Near North Coast, North Queensland, South Burnett, South East Queensland, South West Queensland, and West Moreton & Brisbane Valley) for an unforgettable and formative state final experience at the Ekka (aka Royal Queensland Show).
