Harrogate BID is seeking companies in Harrogate’s retail, hotel and hospitality sectors to enter into this year’s 'World of Flowers' Floral Window Competition.
Harrogate businesses invited to enter 'World of Flowers' shop window competition Harrogate BID is seeking companies in Harrogate’s retail, hotel and hospitality sectors to enter into this year’s ‘World of Flowers’ Floral Window Competition, which it has launched with Harrogate in Bloom. Through the event, the BID is marking Harrogate’s many International links through a series of spectacular floral installations in the town centre. As part of the celebration, they are inviting businesses to join the competition, which will be judged by dedicated volunteers from the Harrogate in Bloom Group. The judges are looking to be impressed by entries for the following criteria: first impression/overall design; planting – appropriate in colour/scale to its surrounding; containers of appropriate size and style; paving, paths and signage being well maintained and in good order; plants being in good condition, disease free and dead-headed and noticeable environmentally friendly features. As an added advantage – entries from the finalists of the Floral Window Competition will help shape Harrogate BID’s entry into this year’s overall Britain in Bloom competition – in which they have been nominated as a finalist. A trophy will be presented to an overall winner in the three categories of: hotels & guest houses; pubs, restaurants & cafes and retail. Matthew Chapman, BID Manager, said:
"The Floral Window competition is a great opportunity for businesses to show off their creative flair, through their displays. "Harrogate is known far and wide for its attention to detail on floral displays, so what better way to add to that than to encourage more companies to focus on flowers! "We already have more than a dozen businesses signed up, and with three weeks to go, I’m confident they will be joined by plenty more."Entries must be submitted by Friday 30th June, displays must be completed by Tuesday 4th July – with judging taking place on Thursday 6th July. Winners will be announced at an awards evening, to be held on Thursday 21st September at the West Park Hotel. To enter email info@harrogatebid.co.uk or fill in this form.
