Dates for your diary:
• 29th May 2020 – Registration for the Shop Window competition closes

• 5th June 2020 – Judges view Shop Window Entrants
• 13th June 2020 – Winners announced in the Main Arena at the Carnival – Prize Giving
A ‘Peoples Choice Award’ category will also run this year and this will give the public a chance to vote for their favorite window, this will be publicised via the Carnival Facebook Page.
Last year we had a fantastic response! To view last years Shop Window entrants visit the Gallery
2020 Entrants as businesses register, we will show them here
The Judging panel will be the staff and the Friends Group from Brackley Library. The Windows will be judged out of 5 on the following categories:
- Carnival Theme
- Humour
- Creativity
- Use of Colour
- Impact and Shop integration.
There are two categories to enter Small window entries and Large Window entries
This is a great opportunity to brighten up Brackley and have some fun with your window displays, and we do hope you will consider taking part and registering your business.
