Festival Events
Rodeo Queen Competition
The 2025 Mareeba Rodeo Festival Queen Competition is open to residents of the Mareeba Shire. The competition is a great way for entrants to meet new people, grow in confidence, have fun & learn many new things.
We invite businesses and clubs to sponsor an entrant to enhance the success of the Rodeo Festival Week. The competition is open to unmarried females, aged 16-21 years by judging day - Sunday, 6th July 2025.
The amount of support (money or other) provided by a sponsor to their entrant, is at the discretion of the sponsor. There is a limit of one sponsor per entrant. It is a requirement that the sponsor or a representative attend the Rodeo Ball that will be held on Saturday, 5th July 2025.
Entrants will be judged on qualities needed to be a good Mareeba Rodeo ambassador. Judging will take place at an interview on Sunday, 6th July and prior to this via observation at public engagements including the Rodeo Ball. At the interview, judges will determine each entrant’s knowledge regarding the Mareeba Rodeo and Mareeba region, their conversation skills and how they present themselves.
At the public events, judges will observe how each entrant conducts themselves through interactions with others, their public speaking skills and their appearance and manners.
The announcement of the Rodeo Queen and Princess is made after the Downtown Parade and is a widely anticipated part of the rodeo festivities.
