Congratulations to Simon Tognola (Mareeba, North Queensland) who won the right to represent Queensland in the State final of the Young Judges competition at the Brisbane Ekka. 

Simon is also making a name for himself as a photographer of show animals and it’s also understood that he has a lovely singing voice.  He will now travel to Perth in 2012 for the National final.  New participant in Young Judges’ competitions, Will Smith (Gympie) came third.

Queensland will be represented in this year’s National Young Judges final at the Royal Adelaide Show by Matt Henry (Hodgsonvale, Toowoomba).
