HOW TO WIN A YUKATA COMPETITION

To win a Yukata Competition you need to fulfil the basic criteria of the judges. The Japan Club of Victoria's Yukata Competition is not a beauty competition, but more a traditional Japanese fashion competition. The emphases here is on tradition.

A Japanese girl's presentation in the Yukata Competition must therefore be in a traditional Japanese fashion style.

• Yukata must be of traditional cut and pattern design, but still colorful.
• Geta or traditional Japanese sandals must be worn. Modern designs or materials are definitely out.
• Hair style should be traditional or at least have the hair worn up.
