Congratulations to all the Showgirl organisers, volunteers, sponsors and contestants for a fantastic event.
The judges certainly had their work cut out for them. All 11 ladies showed great poise, confidence and spoke wonderfully.
They have all worked extremely hard to get to this level as State Finalists and should be proud of their achievements.

The 2026 Showgirl winner is Hannah Johnson from Toogoolawah Show Society and representing the West Moreton & Brisbane Valley Sub Chamber.

The Runner up is Bridgette Langston from Goombungee- Haden Show Society and representing the Darling Downs Sub Chamber.

The Showgirl Choice award went to Charleen Aisbett from the Chinchilla Show Society and representing South - West Sub Chamber.

A special mention to our Rockhampton and Central Queensland Sub Chamber Showgirl, Britney Schofield ! Her commitment and dedication as our representative was outstanding, Britney certainly gave it her all with a level of professionalism that gives me faith in our young leaders of tomorrow.
We'll have more from the Queensland Country Life Showgirl Awards tomorrow at the Ekka !
