Agricultural Show Awards: Applications Open

Each year, every Show Society in NSW has the chance to nominate a deserving individual who has made a meaningful contribution to their Show Society. We encourage all Shows to complete the application to help us recognise and celebrate the invaluable role that regional Agricultural Shows play—not only in advancing Australian agriculture, but also in strengthening their local communities. Let’s honour these achievements together!
