Entrants will be judged on qualities needed to be a good Mareeba Rodeo ambassador. Judging will take place at an interview by a judging panel 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.
