The Showgirl competition aims to find a young woman to act as an ambassador for the Cumnock Show Society.
The Cumnock showgirl must have genuine interest in their community, including knowledge of rural and regional NSW.
Entrants must be aged 18-24 years as at 1st May 2018. (This is a year later as our show is too late for the Regional judging competition held in Feb each year. Therefore the Cumnock Showgirl 2017 will go to Regional Showgirl 2018)
Entrants must live, be educated, or work within NSW for at least 3 mths prior to their local Showgirl Competition.
The contestants are judged on personality, confidence, ambition, goals, general and rural knowledge, presentation and speech.
