Judging
Your scarecrow needs to be in position by the 22nd to 30th June to allow judging to take place from 23nd - 29th June 2025. Judges have been selected from across the community.
Scarecrows must be three dimensional (not cut outs) and will be judged against four criteria:
-
Most 'Villagey' - local theme
-
Scariest
-
Most creative
-
Best dressed
Prizes will be awarded in each category with an overall winner.
There will also be a special Kevin House award selected at his discretion.
