Residents of Shrewsbury are urged to submit their photographs in a bid to be featured on the front or back cover of the annual Shrewsbury in Bloom Portfolio of Evidence.
The Shrewsbury in Bloom Committee is offering local residents the opportunity to have their photo of the town on the front or back cover of the annual portfolio, which is presented to the Royal Horticultural Society’s judges when they visit the town to inspect the town against exacting criteria.
The portfolio contains details of life in Shrewsbury over the course of a twelve-month period and which the judges are unable to view during their brief visit in the summer.
When we think of Shrewsbury in Bloom, we automatically assume that we’re talking about the plants and flowers we see around town.
As part of the town’s entry into the Bloom competitions, the town is judged on a number of criteria, including Horticultural Excellence, Environmental Responsibility and Community Participation.
Councillor Keith Roberts, Chairman of Shrewsbury in Bloom, said: “We are looking for iconic images of Shrewsbury. Whilst this is our Shrewsbury in Bloom portfolio, the photos don’t necessarily have to be of flowers, but can be of buildings, places of local interest that show the beautiful town we live in.”
Entries should be emailed to: hilary.humphries@shrewsburytowncouncil.gov.uk at any time until the beginning of May 2019.
