Nominations are now open for the Queensland Rural Ambassador Award for nominees 20 to 30 years old who are very interested and involved in the agricultural industry.
The participants must be strongly committed and involved in the agricultural industry, strive with passion for the agricultural show movement and know about current rural matters.
Prizemoney for the winner of the rural ambassador award is $1,000 and the runner-up will receive $500.
At the Rockhampton show from 14 to 16 June, participants will meet and create relationships with other persons in the agricultural network, will be judged based on their knowledge of the different sections of the rural show, and are to participate in the 150-year Grand Parade Celebration.
On the cocktail night contributors will be judged on their ability to sell raffle tickets and have three minutes to present on how they are actively participating in today’s industry, followed by three questions from the judges.
The reasoning behind the award is to put young people in rural and regional Queensland situations under the spotlight and to highlight the importance they hold in the community and to the Agricultural Show.
This award allows them to be recognised for their effects and their involvement in the industry.
