Judges were Tim O’Brien, Agricultural Societies Council NSW, Mrs. Judy Graham representing The Land, and Dr. Ellen Downes former Showgirl.
Judging of the finalists will take place in Sydney, over four days leading up to the announcement on April 10.
The State Finals will see between 15 and 18 young ladies from throughout the state taking part.
Since the Showgirls were re-introduced in Bingara four years ago, it is the second year Bingara has had a Showgirl to go to Zone judging.
The competition is run by Show Society President, Kelly Holland and Annie Harvy-Nicolle, who, with a team of helpers, have also organised Showgirl Balls which have proved very popular.
