The Showgirl Awards aim to "recognise, develop and celebrate young female leaders in our communities". The Showgirl Awards allow agricultural shows to engage young women in their communities to develop their leadership skills and confidence to continue their involvement in and represent their agricultural show.
Mount Isa Showgirl Amy Kuhne was declared the finalist to represent Central and North West at the Brisbane Ekka in August where representatives from across the state will compete for the title of Queensland Country Life Showgirl.
Mount Isa Agriculture Show Society said choosing the finalist was a difficult decision.
"Both ladies were winners, as they displayed a high standard of maturity and extensive knowledge of our region," the society said.
"This made it hard for the judges, as they deliberated over their final decision.
"We congratulate Amy Kuhne and wish her well as she represents the Sub Chamber at State Finals."
