Lewisham Allotments Competition

Lewisham Allotments Competition –

Monday 9th July – Friday 13^th July 2012

As the temperature is increasing, along with the rain levels (!) I hope your crops are flourishing and thoughts turning to the annual allotments competition. 

Our competition details/categories are listed below and for those of you who will be capturing wonderful photos of your plots, we have added a new category for Best Allotment Photo; whether it be close ups of your produce, allotment wildlife photos, character photos of plotholders or just quirky, original  images of allotment life then do send them in direct to me on the e-mail below.  Deadline for receipt of photos is Friday 27^th July

Please distribute info to all your members and please note the following -

·      Judging will  take place week commencing Monday 9th July.

·      Entry forms must be received by Friday 6^th July.

• Please can committees submit no more than three plots they think should be considered for judging for the Best Plot category (any above three will not be considered).  For Best Plot the judge will then choose one winner only for each site that has submitted nominees. 

·      Site Keys – If you have made any recent changes to your main gate keys/code locks please do ensure that I have the correct keys/codes in advance of the judging period.  If the judge is unable to gain access to the site then the site/plots will not be judged.

  

  

·      Plot Numbers - All entrants must have a clear plot number on their allotment; those without will not be judged.

·      Category judging –

Best Plot – there will be one winner for each site, where entries have been submitted; certificate and award will be sent via the site committee to present as they see fit.  This category will also be judged borough wide with overall 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners who will receive their certificate and award at the presentation ceremony.

Best Allotment Photo / Best New Plotholder/Best Allotment Site – will be judged borough wide with 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners invited to the awards ceremony.
