EMPOWERING YOUNG RURAL WOMEN

The Country to Canberra Leadership Competition is a prestigious annual competition empowering young rural, regional and remote women and non-binary people in Years 10–12 to share their ideas for the future of Australia.

Each year, participants are invited to respond creatively to a national theme relevant to the experiences of young people living in regional, rural and remote communities. Entries can take the form of a written response, artwork, video, speech, pitch or other creative format.

Winners will receive an all-expenses-paid ‘Power Trip’ to Canberra, where they will meet inspiring politicians, CEOs and changemakers, receive leadership and public speaking training, tour Parliament House, connect with mentors, have their work published and join a growing network of young rural leaders creating change in their communities.
