Camden Show Ball
The Camden Show Ball is a prestigious annual event celebrating community spirit and tradition in the lead-up to the Camden Show. Featuring an evening of dining, dancing, and the presentation of the Camden Show Young Woman of the Year, it honours the region’s agricultural heritage while bringing together locals and supporters for a night of fun and connection.
For over 140 years, Camden Show Society has been a proud part of the Camden community and is one of the oldest show societies in Australia. A key part of its commitment to the community is its long-standing support for young women through the Young Woman of the Year Competition.
Held annually for more than 60 years, this competition recognises and celebrates the ambition, confidence, knowledge, and community spirit of young women.
Entrants are judged on personality, presentation, public speaking, and volunteering history qualities that reflect leadership and a passion for rural life and agriculture.
Each year, one young woman is selected to represent the Camden district at the zone level, with the opportunity to progress to the state finals.
Through this experience, all participants gain valuable personal and professional development and become ambassadors for their community
and the agricultural industry.
The Camden Show Society congratulates all who enter, recognising their courage to aim high and follow their dreams. Every participant leaves the competition with new skills, connections, and confidence, and wishes them every success in the future.

Camden Show Young Woman of the Year 2027
Michaela Camilleri
Congratulations to Michaela Camilleri our 2027 Camden Show Young Woman of the Year!
Proudly sponsored by Impeccable Fleet Maintenance Pty Ltd
Michaela is a passionate animal lover who runs her own small business, Theresa Park Dog Grooming. Her lifelong love of animals and a strong work ethic are paying dividends in the success of her business, which she started in 2024. From its modest start operating from her family’s home, Michaela now has a client list of 300, taking between 30 and 40 appointments each week. She has recently opened a brand new home based salon in a separate purpose built building and rebranded her business.
Michaela is a proud, long-time local of Camden with a strong connection to our community. She grew up on her family’s cabbage and corn farm, which taught her the value of hard work, responsibility and team work from a young age. As a child, she was given farm duties and participated in the daily operations of her family’s business. Throughout high school, Michaela held down part time jobs in hospitality and in dog grooming. In that latter role, she also assisted in educating clients on the grooming needs best suited to their dog.
When she’s not at work, Michaela is a member of the CWA Camden branch and treasurer of Camden Poultry Club, participating in the Club’s annual show and other community events. She breeds her own exhibition poultry and waterfowl which she enjoys taking out to shows on the weekend. Michaela has a particular interest in the Indian Runner Duck breed, as a result she was recently elected the assistant secretary of the Indian Runner Duck Club of Australia
Michaela entered the Camden Young Woman of the Year Competition to challenge herself, build confidence and to continue being an active member of the Camden community. She hopes to connect with other like-minded, strong young women.
