The Rural Ambassador Award is a National Competition that highlights and celebrates young people who have a genuine interest in rural and regional Australia or New Zealand. 

The Award aims to provide an opportunity for these young people to promote rural communities and industries, as well as to be involved in promoting the importance of agriculture and food production.

The Award will identify and recognise the next generation of leaders who have a strong commitment to agricultural industries and an involvement and or a genuine interest for the Agricultural Show movement either at the local, State or National level.

Rural Ambassador Competitions

What’s it all about?
Rural ambassador competitions occur around the nation at a local show, state and national level. Successful entrants are given the opportunity to meet and network with like minded representatives from around the state, around the country and around the Commonwealth. You will meet state and federal decision makers and leaders in agriculture and education, be able to input your point of view, ask the hard questions and make important contacts. You do not have to be a ‘university graduate’, you just need to have the desire to stand up for rural Australia, have a basic agricultural and rural knowledge, and be prepared to ‘have a go’. You will experience some tough competition, make lifelong friends and have a damn good time. So if this sounds like you, contact your local Agricultural Society for entry details.
