Jemma Leeson, Katelyn Mills and Sophie Litchfield have all put their hands up to participate in the quest, which is a key component of the biennial festival.
The Ambassador Quest was officially launched on Wednesday evening at the Leeton Visitor Information Centre, with the trio now able to get their fundraising activities underway.
Each entrant is being supported by a committee, which will receive a portion of the money raised, with their chosen charity to also receive a slice of the pie.
Community organisations and groups will also be able to apply for funds raised in the weeks after the final amount is tallied.
Leeton SunRice Festival director Julie Axtill said the entrants were keen to hit the ground running.
"All three of the ladies will have stalls at the Light Up Leeton (Christmas Fair) this Sunday to start their fundraising and introduce themselves to the community," she said.

Miss Leeson is being supported by the Leeton Show Society as her committee, the Whitton Malt House is the group behind Miss Mills and the Leeton and District Bowling Club will be assisting Miss Litchfield.
"We're really looking forward to seeing what sort of events they come up with, especially now that everyone is looking to get out and about again," Mrs Axtill said.
