Rural Ambassador
Award
The Rural Ambassador Award is
conducted annually by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Ltd. and
Victorian Agricultural Shows Ltd.
Sponsored by Kubota, the
Awards identify and encourage enthusiastic, industrious and skilful young
people providing them with a forum to express their views through education
and experience.
The Award is judged across 12
regions in Victoria with winners at the local level going on to the regional
final. Regional final winners then take part in the State final held
at the Royal Melbourne Show each year with the Victorian winner taking part
in the National finals.
The aims of the Award are:
-
To highlight the talent,
creativity and ingenuity of young rural Victorians and in doing so, to
encourage entrants to be role models across local communities.
-
To encourage and reward
enthusiastic, skilful and industrious young people living, or having an
involvement, in rural environments.
-
To assist all entrants,
through their participation, to develop strong communication and leadership
qualities.
-
To enable entrants to gain a
greater proficiency in their chosen field(s) and to develop their
reputations and statures in those fields.
Applicants must be over 20
years of age and under 30 years of age as of 1st May in the year of the
state final.
Finalists may be involved in
a rural or agricultural based industry, or be associated with a Show
Society, but do not necessarily need to reside in a rural community.
