Supporting young women in the community, the competition will draw six young women to Warwick to compete for the title of Miss Rodeo Australia, and be the face of professional rodeo sports, representing the Australian Rodeo community on an international stage.
The judging panel of four is looking for a young woman with warmth and polish, who can inspire a new generation of rodeo competitors.
The winner will be a woman of poise who can reminisce with pioneers of the sport, and who is relatable to the modern day competitor, and the challenges they face.
They are looking for someone who can work with the media, work with sponsors, and create new relationships to grow and sustain the MRA organisation.
The judging process entails a rigorous program testing speech, written skills, horsemanship, personality, and public speaking.
Miss Rodeo Australia gives incredible opportunities to the young women who participate, including the opportunity to travel the world and meet like-minded women with similar aspirations.
