Young Ambassador Experience
Previously known as the Showgirl Competition and Young Women Experience, the Young Ambassador Experience recognises and supports young people who are passionate advocates for rural life, agriculture, and community across the Coffs Coast and beyond.
This program is not a beauty contest. It celebrates individuals who are wholesome, well-rounded, community-minded, and who understand the vital role agriculture plays in our region and across Australia. The experience provides participants with opportunities to develop leadership skills, build confidence, and strengthen their involvement within the agricultural and wider community.
The Senior Winner (18–24 years) will represent Coffs Harbour at Zone level, competing against other Zone 1 finalists. From there, two Zone finalists will progress to the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
