Structure of Campaign

Bloom up your streets all year round

The United Kingdom is divided into 12 English regions plus Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.

 

Judging usually takes place in two stages, over a period of two years.

 

The first stage of judging is the local competition. Entries are received by Local Authorities, Town or Parish Councils or by voluntary local Bloom Committees depending upon the area.

 

Judging of the first stage takes place in June/July with winners announced during local presentations between August and November.

 

On completion of the first stage of judging, entries are then selected by the Committee that represents their nation/region for the second stage, which is UK-wide judging.

 

To ensure that effort is sustained over time, this second stage of judging takes place in August the year after they qualify.

 

Winners of the UK judging are announced at a prestigious ceremony in September/October.
