The aim of competition is to find a young female Ambassador for rural NSW and the agricultural show movement.
It encourages growth and development of young women to become strong, independent and influential representatives of the local community.

The 19-year-old works at the Singleton Golf Club and tutors local primary and high school students.
She participates in Relay for Life each year and believes that becoming the Singleton Showgirl will help her with furthermore involving herself in more community activities.
"As a young girl, I always admired previous showgirls and their role within the community," she recalled.
"Being Singleton Showgirl would help me achieve my dream of impacting the younger generations through sharing my knowledge and experiences."
Jasmine told The Singleton Argus that she hopes to become a positive role model for young girls across the community.
"I hope to provide a positive and healthy role model for all, and share my passion for educating people in a positive, healthy way," she added.
"I am excited and I am looking forward to this opportunity that the Singleton Argus and Northern Agricultural Association Inc. has provided me."
Aimee Flinn

"I would love to have the opportunity to be Singleton Showgirl to inspire the young women of our beautiful community to follow their dreams," Aimee said.
"I believe I would be a great candidate due to the respect I have for everyone I come in contact with, my gentle and caring nature, my love of the land, plus the determination to succeed and encourage other young women to step towards their goals."

Sarah received her High School Certificate after the completion of Year 12 at Hunter Valley Grammar School in 2018.

Each Sunday, the 19-year-old volunteers to help judge the Singleton Gymkhana.
