There’s still time for the residents of Shrewsbury to submit their iconic photographs of the town in a bid to be featured on the front or the back cover of the Shrewsbury in Bloom Portfolio of Evidence this summer.
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.
Shrewsbury in Bloom isn’t just about the plants and flowers we see around town. As part of the town’s entry into the Bloom competitions, Shrewsbury is judged on a number of criteria, including horticultural excellence, environmental responsibility and community participation.
Helen Ball, Town Clerk for the Town Council, said: “With the spring weather, we’re starting to see the flowers bloom around the town which helps to make everywhere look more colourful. This is a great chance for our residents to take iconic photos of the town.
“The photos we’re looking for 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.”
Photos should be taken within the last twelve months in the town of Shrewsbury.
Entries should be emailed to: hilary.humphries@shrewsburytowncouncil.gov.uk at any time until May 1st.
