Hosted by the Business Liaison Association (BLA) in partnership with local schools and community stakeholders in Cairns, North Queensland.
The Business Liaison Association extends its sincere appreciation to Cairns Show Association and Inspired Signs for their valued sponsorship of the Cairns Show Billboard Competition.
Through their support, we continue to strengthen pathways between education, training, and employment — empowering the next generation of agricultural professionals across Far North Queensland.
The Cairns Show Billboard Competition provides an exciting and prestigious opportunity for Visual Art and Digital Media students in Years 9–12 across Far North Queensland to showcase their original work on a large-scale public platform at the Cairns Showgrounds.
This initiative celebrates emerging artistic talent, promotes community recognition, and offers students authentic, real-world experience in large-format public art and design.
Winning entries from each category will be professionally reproduced and displayed on a 12-metre billboard at the Scott Street entrance of the Cairns Showgrounds during the 2026 Cairns Show, providing high-visibility exposure to thousands of visitors.
Visual Arts, Design, and Media students in Years 9–12 are invited to submit large-scale works, including billboard designs, for exhibition at the Cairns Showgrounds.
All entries must be the student's original work and must align with the competition guidelines and submission requirements.
The competition comprises three categories. Students may enter one or more of the following:
