1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes for "Best Made by an Adult" (made by someone over 16 years of age) and "Best Made by a Child" (under 16). Also "Most Original Idea" and "Funniest Scarecrow". Please tell us if your scarecrow was made by an adult or child when you register. All entries (made by either adult or child) will be eligible for Funniest and Most Original. An Overall Winner will also be announced.

Adults = over 16s, Children = under 16. Please let us know which category your scarecrow is in for judging. Phone John on 07761214219 or use the contact form on this website. All entries (by either adult or child) can additionally be voted for as the Funniest Scarecrow and Most Original Idea. There's no need to tell us if you're going in for those, all entries will be in the running.

Yes Please! We recommend registering so we know if it was made by an adult or child (under 16) to enter it into the right judging category, make sure we don't miss any to be photographed and put on the map for others to find. Please phone John on 07761214219 or email: johnfacer2@yahoo.co.uk to register, or send a message with the contact form on this site. Of course, we'll still photograph any unregistered scarecrows we spot, but might not know they're there in time, or who made them!

Everyone who makes a scarecrow will get a small gift. There's a trophy for the overall winner which you keep for a year and we give it to the winner next year. There are also prizes for the winners and runners up in both adult and child categories, for the funniest and most original scarecrows. What the prizes are will depend on how many enter the competition.

Sorry, we're not currently doing this. So far it's been for Saltfleetby residents only. If you live nearby and would like to bring a scarecrow to set up in Saltfleetby you can try contacting Donna on 07701 048010, rigsbydl1@gmail.com and ask if anything can be arranged.

This year the judging is is being done by Councillor Noi Sear and her husband Dave. There are categories: Best Scarecrow Made by a Child (under 16), Best Scarecrow Made by an Adult (over 16), Most Original Idea and Funniest Scarecrow and the Overall Winner.
