The Dalgety Show Society is proud to introduce for the very first time, a Rural Achiever Award at its 2010 show, Sunday March 7. This award will replace the Dalgety Showgirl competition.

The Dalgety Show Rural Achiever Award is open to both males and females aged between 20 and 27 years old, who live or grew up in the Snowy River Shire. Applicants for the Award must be aged between 20 and 27 years of age as of 7th March 2010. The Award aims to recognise young rural people who are working hard to make a significant contribution to their local community and to rural Australia.

If you work on a farm, in an agricultural industry, for a rural business or a community organisation, the Dalgety Show Society would welcome your application to its Rural Achiever Award. In 2009, finalists at the Royal Agricultural Society’s Rural Achiever Award included a dairy herd manager, an agronomist, a farm supply merchandiser and an assistant accountant, so whatever your background, if you are passionate about rural NSW, the Dalgety Show Society would love to hear from you.

Applications will close on Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 5pm.

For an entry form and more information email Dalgety Show Society assistant secretary, Carol Doyle at dalgety1@optusnet.com.au or phone Carol on 6456 5072.

The winner of the 2010 Dalgety Show Rural Achiever Award will be sponsored to attend the RAS Rural Achiever Award competition in December 2010 where eight finalists from rural NSW will be chosen to participate in the Award program in 2011.
