There are just two senior entrants this year, one of which will be chosen to represent Mount Isa as 2017 Showgirl.

More than just a beauty pageant, Mount Isa Show Society looks for girls and women with local knowledge and a passion for rural life.

The senior showgirl age restrictions are from 18 to 28 and teen showgirl is 13 to 17. 

Show organisers say the competition is about getting involved with the community and promoting the local show, being a rural ambassador for Mount Isa, and raising the profile of Queensland shows.
