There are 128 Agricultural Shows held throughout Queensland every year and it’s from these organizations that the 2021 Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador will be chosen. NANANGO SHOWGIRL QUEST If you are interested in broadening your knowledge of the Queensland agricultural show movement and making new friends from around the state the Showgirl Quest is an excellent platform to start.

If this sounds like you, contact the Nanango Show Secretary at 4163 1273 or by email at [email protected] The winners of these two awards will be presented with their ribbons and a $250 cash prize. As the Nanango Miss Showgirl and Rural Ambassador, the winners will be expected to represent our show society at the South Burnett Sub-Chamber Competition held in Goomeri, where they will both receive another $250. The successful representatives will then compete in the Royal Show in Brisbane in early August. Locally we also hold a “Miss Teen” for girls aged 13 – 17 and a “Miss Junior” for those aged 10 – 12.
