The VRC has announced an update to this year’s Myer Fashions on the Field competition with new categories: Best Dressed and Best Suited Awards.
The competition will be both on track and online. The digital competition requires you to upload three pictures and a video, and finalists will be invited to attend Flemington racecourse on Kennedy Oaks Day to compete for the top honours.
Racegoers are also able to to enter in-person at Flemington across the four days of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, even if you submit a digital entry and are not selected as a finalist. Dedicated style spotters will be encouraging the most stylish on track to enter.
Best Dressed and Best Suited finalists will be selected on Penfolds Victoria Derby Day, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day and Kennedy Oaks Day. These entrants will go straight into the final alongside the digital competition finalists with the overall winners announced live in the afternoon of Kennedy Oaks Day, Thursday 3 November.
