Judging Checklist

Have all members of your committee had the opportunity to read the entrants pack & you carefully studied the pro forma judging marking sheet, ensuring that every aspect is covered in you route? This can be accessed via www.yorkshireinbloom.co.uk

Have you considered producing a portfolio for the judges?
Bearing in mind the strict timetable, have you carefully timed your route – allowing enough time for judges to meet and talk with members of your community and to take photos?
Have you identified and timed the halfway point of your tour?
Have you decided which representatives from the local community will meet the judges?
Have you had a practice run to check for unforeseen problems and to allow for any alterations to your original route?
Have you involved young people in the campaign – if so will the judges meet them?
Have you fully considered aspects of the permanent landscape and included areas of sustainable planting?
Have you ensured that your area is clean – having regard for the fact that judges may wish to slightly deviate from the route?
Have you considered the implications if judging is on a very rainy day e.g. brollies, type of vehicle, where to meet the community representatives and other backup contingencies?
Is there a local ‘Best Kept Gardens’ competition? If so, do you have a schedule of entries (no’s) and a note of local prize winners?
Have you double-checked the DAY and TIME of the judge’s visit?
Have you provided a mobile phone number contact for the judges i.e. one of the reception party?
Have you organised refreshments and comfort breaks?
Have you invited the local press and organised a photo call?
