Don’t just take our word for it…Here is what some of our participants from last year’s competition had to say about The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl Competition:

“Through the showgirl movement I have met some incredible people and made some wonderful friendships. This past week has been a very empowering experience, I have been surrounded by such a diverse group of women, all championing agriculture in different ways”.

Maisie Morrow, The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl 2017 - Winner

“Being part of the Showgirl movement has given me so many opportunities. I have become more involved in my local community, more passionate about rural Australia and it’s importance, and I’ve learnt so much about myself: what my goals are, what my strengths and weaknesses are, and who I want to be. I’ve also had a ball and met some incredible, like minded and inspiring people”.

Emma Gorman, The Land Sydney Royal Showgirl 2017 - First Runner Up

“I have developed so many skills and been involved in wonderful opportunities since entering the Showgirl movement. Often the skills I have learnt have set me in good stead for everyday life and have enabled me to be more involved in my community. I have particularly enjoyed networking with other young women and people within my local community to address concerns and celebrate our region”.
