The 2026 Showgirl Competition once again highlighted the spirit, confidence and community pride of young women across the Rockhampton region. This year’s entrants embraced the opportunity to grow, connect and represent their local communities with distinction.

Warm congratulations are extended to Britney Schofield, the 2026 Showgirl Winner. Britney will now go on to represent Rockhampton at the regional finals, and the entire Show community wishes her every success as she continues her journey.

How ARE entrants judged?

Entrants are evaluated on criteria reflecting the Queensland Country Life Showgirls Award. Judges will assess ambitions, community involvement, and general knowledge across local, national, and international topics.

Entrants will also demonstrate awareness of the agricultural industry, its challenges, and its impact on communities, as well as their commitment to Agricultural Shows.

Judging considers personal presentation, leadership, public speaking, confidence, and engagement with others, culminating in an on-stage interview.

The sub-committee will support entrants throughout the process.
