The Ambassador of the Fair's competition is set to run August 19 to 21.
This year, 23 of the 75 contestents in the CNE's annual contest are from midwestern Ontario.
The winner will represent the CNE and all agricultural fairs for the coming year.
Over 3000 young people have taken part in the contest since it began in 1971.
Last year, Ashley Jeffries of the North Easthope Agricultural Society was the first runner up in the CNE Ambassador of the Fairs competition.
