In case you missed it, in the space of a week we have concluded the 2016/17 Fashion at The Races competition - crowning Abby Von Duve as the Winner - and kicked off the new season at the 2017 Balaklava Cup. 

With already the competition's first State Finalist locked in - Marie Jeffries, winning the Balaklava Cup qualifying event - it's time to announce the details of this year's competition.

Fashion at The Races 2017/18 gets bigger and better, with bigger prizes, new sponsors, and some talented new ambassadors.

Of course, everyone wants to know what you'll be winning at each qualifying event and the State Final (apart from the glory of being the most stylish lady or gent). At each qualifying event once again the winner will receive a cash prize, in addition to a $200 voucher to spend with new sponsor The Daily Edited.

The two changes to note is first the Penola Race Club qualifying event, which has moved from Coonawarra Vigneron's Day to the Penola Cup, and the Mount Gambier Cup, which has moved from May 2018 to December 2017 due to track upgrades.
