55th Barraba Young Woman
2023 Barraba Show Young Woman Amie Middlemiss & 2023 Runner Up Jess Kelso
The Showgirl Competition aims to find a young female between 18-25 years of age to be an Ambassador for Barraba and the agricultural show movement. The winning Showgirl of each local Show Society is selected by a panel of three judges and remains the Young Woman until the next year’s Show. Her role involves many official and informal duties locally such as public speaking throughout the year and presenting prizes for winners in agricultural events.
The competition is not a beauty pagent. Entrants are judged on personality, confidence, ambition and life goals, general knowledge, rural knowledge, community involvement, presentation and speech. In addition to their potential ambassadorial qualities, contestants are also judged on their genuine interest in rural NSW and their involvement in their local community.
Today, the Young Woman Competition continues to find young rural women with purpose and ambition and the Competition plays a significant role in the overall development of rural youth, attracting strong support from entrants, sponsors and organizers.

Past Young Women / Showgirls
The Barraba Miss Showgirl was first held in 1964 and has been conducted every year since, with the exceptions of 1980 and 2001. Mrs Esme Trotter was the first showgirl coordinator with Ms Chater. Barraba has had one Zone finalist in this time with Annette Hughes in 1969, aged 17, going to Sydney to represent our Zone. On the 8th March 1975 & 22nd February 2014 the Barraba PA &H Association was the host for the Zone 4 Finals. A Junior Showgirl Compeition ran between 1967 and 1975, and has recently been reinstated in 2012.
