We are seeking a sponsor for our Schools Competition.
We are pleased to invite all Primary, Special and Nursery Schools in Norfolk and surrounding counties to enter the Edible Container Competition at our Show.
The theme is Grub in a Tub and the finished container can be anything in which plants can grow successfully (ie, have free drainage etc.). The filled container must be freestanding and reasonably portable in order that it can be moved to the showground site without the use of machinery (such as a fork-lift) therefore a stone trough might not be appropriate! Innovative, homemade, or recycled containers will be looked upon favourably.
Maximum height and width of containers: 80cm x 80cm.
The plants might include salad leaves, vegetables, fruit, edible flowers or herbs. The most potentially productive and attractive scheme will receive the most points. As the show is early in the season you can include beans or tomatoes etc. even if they are not at maximum fruiting point.
The winning entries will receive a prestigious award, and the winning school will also receive additional prizes.
Entries must be made by 31st March 2009 at the latest to guarantee acceptance in the show, and all tubs must be delivered/displayed at the show by 9am on Friday 3rd July 2009 at the latest. They may be delivered/displayed on Thursday 2nd July 2009 at any time.
There is a refundable fee of £10 which must be sent with your entry (you will only forfeit this in the even of non-attendance , or you may like to make a Donation of this towards our Charities ).
