The credit union's entry beat out 5,000 other entries for the prize, which offered up to $20,000 in new wardrobe, or $200 per employee.

The contest was open to all industries, but Jim Kennedy, director of integrated marketing with Dodgeville, Wis.-based Land's End, said that financial institutions were the largest category of entries.

The contest asked entrants to describe why their company needed a wardrobe makeover.

"We've always had a lot of credit union customers," said Kennedy. "Our product lines up with what they are looking for. Many want to go a little more relaxed, but still want to look professional and have unity."
