Brought to you by the people behind Melbourne’s Sugar Mountain and London music festival, Visions, DOG SHOW is a free community event for all humans and canines, with competition entry open to any dogs which meet the criteria—that criteria being that they are dogs.

An entry fee of $10 per competing dog will be donated to Guide Dogs Victoria, with the fields split into the following categories: waggiest tail, best trick, cutest pup, best in show, RuPaw’s Drag Race (dogs in drag, racing!) and fancy dress (four options: Bowie, Kylie, Prince, Warhol).

Hosted by:
Mikey Cahill – Herald Sun scribe and fine DJ/trivia host, aka Joey Lightbulb
Sara Savage – Triple R, presenter of Parallel Lines

Judges:
Kirin J Callinan – musician, dog lover, long-time pal of Sugar Mountain
Kelsey Lu – the NYC artist is making her first trip down under this month
Sui Zhen – Melbourne’s finest pop export
Waangenga Blanco – award-winning Bangarra dancer & actor
Dom Alessio – triple j, presenter of Home & Hosed

Prizes for each category will be announced closer to the event, with competing dogs able to enter as many categories as they like. All entrants will receive a limited edition Dog Show t-shirt in large (human sizing).
