The Cairns ShowGirl is a competition to award an Ambassador for the Cairns Show Association.

The Showgirl Awards provide an opportunity to excel in leadership, community involvement, professional development and confidence. It has given many women across Far North Queensland the opportunity to become involved in or increase their involvement in one of the greatest traditions of Australia – their Local Agricultural Show. Our aim, along with developing connected and resilient Cairns women, is to broaden the knowledge and participation of our youth in the Show Movement. The Competition plays a significant role in the overall development of young, strong female leaders and the sustainability of the Agricultural Show Movement within Far North Queensland.

The winner of the Cairns Showgirl Awards will be given the opportunity to represent the Cairns Show Association in the North-Queensland Sub-Chamber Showgirl Awards. If selected, the NQ Sub-Chamber Showgirl winner, will have the opportunity to represent their community at the State Queensland Showgirl Awards.
