Gold Coast to host Myer Fashions on the Field
7 September 2011
A national quest to find the country’s most fashionable racegoer will continue in Queensland, with the Gold Coast Turf Club to host the Myer Fashions on the Field state final on Saturday 8 October.
Australia’s largest and most prestigious outdoor fashion event, Myer Fashions on the Field is an institution of the Melbourne Cup Carnival and is in eighth year as a National Competition. With state finals already completed in Tasmania and South Australia, the competition will head to NSW in September and then to the Gold Coast for the Queensland final.
Queensland will be looking to continue its winning form with Jaydee Paino from Cairns claiming the title in 2010.
The Queensland winner will be flown with a friend to Melbourne for a 9-day trip of a lifetime to attend the 2011 Melbourne Cup Carnival and compete in the National Final of Myer Fashions on the Field. While in Melbourne the full VIP experience will include luxury accommodation at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, transfers, VIP hospitality in the Myer Fashions on the Field enclosure, and invitations to exclusive VRC events.
The Queensland winner will also receive a $1000 Myer Shopping Spree, with a $500 Shopping Spree for the first runner up, and a $300 Shopping Spree for the second runner up, and all entrants on the day will take home a gift bag.
A racewear event which encourages Australian women to indulge their passion for fashion, the Myer Fashions on the Field National Competition culminates with the five interstate winners meeting the Victorian winner – determined over the first three days of the Melbourne Cup Carnival – in the National Final on the famous lawns of Flemington on Crown Oaks Day on Thursday 3 November.
This year’s competition again boasts a phenomenal prize pool valued at more than $400,000, with the Women’s Racewear winner set to receive a brand new Lexus IS 250C, a $5000 Myer Shopping Spree, a Master Collection Longines watch, Antler luggage and more.
To express your own sense of racing style, head to the Gold Coast Turf Club on Saturday 8 October and register from 11am.
