There are only a few days left before the judging commences for Biddulph's ever popular scarecrow competition!

The scarecrows will begin to be on display around the town from tomorrow (14th October) and anyone is welcome to join in.

People can create their most weird and wonderful scarecrows and display them outside their homes.

The judges at Biddulph Youth and Community Zone will then pick the best scarecrows and decide on the winners, with judging commencing on Monday 17th October.

The theme for this year's competition is 'A Splash of Colour', so bonus points if your scarecrow fits well with this theme.

Entry forms can be found at the Zone on Church Road or online on the Zone's website.

A spokesperson for Biddulph Youth and Community Zone said: "Our Scarecrow Competition is back and open to everyone in our local area!

"There's three categories: Residential, Schools & Nurseries and Businesses - if you're a local business you are eligible to enter too!

"There will be prizes for those who win in their categories.

"Find the entry form on our website: www.bycz.org or at The Zone (alternatively, we can drop off to you).

"This year's theme is a splash of colour, so go as adventurous and colourful as you like!"
