The Great Northern Darwin Cup Carnival is known for its bright, colourful and vibrant outfits which suit the Top End lifestyle.

Fashions on the Field offers an opportunity for everyone to get involved in the fashion and fun of competition. Our judges will be looking closely at each participant while choosing aesthetically pleasing race day outfits styled with shoes, headwear and accessories. The outfit should reference racing dress codes and current trends while expressing individual style, sophistication and creativity.
