Each young lady was required to tell guests what the city means to them.
This speech was the first of numerous public appearances and events the ladies will be required to attend and host as part of their duties as entrants of the quest.
2014 Miss Community, Cayde Cheney, said her involvement in the the quest had an enormously positive impact of her self confidence and ability to express herself,
Ms Cheney, along with 2014 Miss Wagga Wagga Jane Morton, will play a mentoring role to the 2015 entrants, with both ladies sharing their experiences and guiding the new ladies in the right direction.
Business manager at Wagga Business Chamber Larry Beute said this years' entrants displayed all the qualities young people should aspire for.
Mr Beute recognised the girls had to make a significant commitment when entering the quest and the growth the ladies showed during their participation was enormous.
2015 entrant Brooke Brunskill, who spent the past three years studying in Sydney, said her time away from Wagga had cemented her love for the city.
"Tonight I'm going to talk about our connection to the city and integrate my person experiences," Ms Brunskill said.
For entrant Sarah Moon the first month of the the quest has proved exceptionally busy, with preparations for her charity high tea event on Sunday, March 30 well underway.
Ms Moon said her work so far had been challenging, forcing her outside her comfort zone.
"I feel that through this I will meet new people and find my voice," Ms Moon said.
Entrants of Miss Wagga Quest perform duties throughout the year with the winner and runner up chosen in November.
