Entrants Information - Categories and Entry Fee
N.B. The above allocated times do not include time for press opportunities or time to allow for the judges to be given an overview/briefing. Approximately 15 minutes should be added for each of these. 15 minutes should also be allowed for visiting one junior or one senior youth project or 30 minutes for one junior and one senior youth project per entrant. (therefore up to possibly 1 hour extra to be added)
Population is based on electoral role
POPULATION DEFINITION (ELECTORAL ROLL)
In defining population size for the purpose of Anglia in Bloom it is essential that entrants also define the boundaries of the city/town/village/coastal resort etc. containing that population on the electoral roll. This decides which category an entrant will be placed in.
Each County Planning Department holds population figures based on districts, parishes and urban wards. There is usually a research officer (occasionally called a demographer) in the planning department who has particular responsibility for the various uses of population figures.
Entrants should contact their respective County Planning Department and dependent upon the entry, request:
Based upon this information, each city/town/village etc. will be asked to provide a map of the area concerned to Anglia in Bloom. The map will clearly outline the boundary of the entry’s area, and a list of the respective urban wards, by name should be attached. A statement of the population size based on the names of the urban wards should also be supplied to support the entry.
In the event of an entrant being nominated for entry into Britain in Bloom, Anglia in Bloom will provide the organisers of Britain in Bloom with a copy of the map and statements of population.
CATEGORY DEFINITION
All entries are defined by the numbers on the Electoral Roll within the stated boundary. In addition:
An Urban Community should be a community within a larger conurbation (sometimes described as an urban ‘village or town’). It should have its own housing, commerce and/or industry and community activity as an integral part of the area i.e. an area with its own ‘centre’. An urban community may not have its own Council, or be able to stand alone, but it will have its own ‘sense of place’.
Coastal is an area that actively encourages visitors with a resort beach and/or harbour (which can be part of a commercial harbour). The area will have facilities providing varied recreational opportunities for visitors. The beach/harbour will have all or some of the following: a café or restaurant, shop, toilets, public transport, supervision, first aid, public telephone. A coastal resort is described as an area which has substantial visitor accommodation and tourism as an integral part of the economy. |
