The peak body for the state's 192 agricultural shows has adopted a simpler trading name and is now calling for designers to create a new logo to go with it.
President Tim Capp said the name change and new logo are moves to state the organisation's purpose more plainly.
Mr Capp says the organisation's primary audience is the people who make up the show movement in the state; members of show societies and volunteers at shows, as well as prospective members and volunteers.
"We need policy-makers in particular to be able to see our brand and immediately understand what we do and what we stand for."
AgShows NSW is calling on designers to submit a logo via their online form by 5pm 20 October, 2021 with the winner announced in December ahead of a new logo launch in early 2022.
The winning logo designer will receive a $300 voucher to Accor Hotels and will be celebrated publicly in the launch activities for the new logo.
