Take part in Compost Awareness week with Garden Organic! | Canalside Community Food

Compost Awareness Week is fast approaching and this year Garden Organic will be running two competitions to raise awareness of the benefits of composting organic waste and using compost in the garden.

• A Poster Competition: be imaginative and creative to produce an A4 sized poster which advertises compost awareness week and the painted bin competition.

• Secondly a painted compost bin competition: hold your own competition amongst friends, family, community groups, allotment associations or schools.  Be creative and make sure you send us a picture of your bin.

Entry to both competitions is open to all ages and abilities.  Please send entries either by email or post to the address below stating your name, age, address and contact telephone number (include school/organisation if sending as a group).

Deadlines for entry to the competitions are 31st March for the Poster Competition and 12th May for the Painted Bin Competition.  Garden Organic experts with a team of Master Composters will judge entries to both competitions.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in both competitions.
