FASHIONS ON THE FIELD
Fashions on the Field showcase the glamour and style that is synonymous with country racing.
At the Burrandowan Picnic Races you will be given the opportunity to present your finest in trackside fashion! Fashions on the Field offer entrants the chance to flaunt their racing style and win some fantastic prizes.
HOW TO ENTER
You have up until the start of Race 3 to nominate yourself at the Fashions on the Field area (look for the signs upon entry)
This year, all nominees will be invited to walk the stage and show off their ensemble. From here, judges will select the winner and runner up, who will be invited to take the stage again to be presented with their prize and sash.
[This excludes Judges Choices categories - winners only will take to the stage].
All nominees should assemble at the fashions on the field tent immediately after race 3. Entrants who have not presented themselves after their final call will forfeit their place in the competition. Timings for each category will be published prior to Race Day.
