Calling all former Showgirls

The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Competition is very different to a typical beauty contest.  Contestants are judged on their confidence, life goals, general knowledge, presentation and speech, and also on their knowledge of rural Australia and their local community. The Competition also encourages awareness of issues faced by women in rural NSW. 

The aim of the Competition, which commenced in 1962, is to find a young female ambassador for rural NSW.  The popularity of the event is as strong as ever; over 500 young women enter the Competition annually throughout NSW.

Contestants continue to be young rural women with purpose and ambition and the Competition plays a significant role in the overall development of rural youth.

The 2012 Sydney Royal Easter Show will mark the 50th anniversary of this iconic event.

If you were a former winner, runner-up or finalist who reached the Sydney Royal State Finals, we’d love for you to be part of the anniversary celebrations planned to take place at the 2012 Show.

From Cooma in particular, we looking for the following:
Catherine Shands (1982)
Emma Barry (1983)
Caroline Zahiauer (1984)
Amanda Herbert (1989)
Bernardine Flanagan (1995)
