“Cuckoo in the Nest” Shop Window Competition
AboutMyArea EN9 are proud to launch their new community competition initiative “Cuckoo in the Nest”. It is an opportunity for selected local shops to be included in a competition to increase footfall in Waltham Abbey Town Centre during school half term week – Saturday 23rd to Sunday 31st October 2010.
The shop, trader or cafe must put an “unusual” item in their window, hence the competition title of “Cuckoo in the Nest”. Something that would not normally feature in their window, so the people participating in the competition can spot it. It must be clearly visible and remain in the shop window for the full 9 days of the competition period.
Each participating shop or cafe pays £20.00 to be included in the competition. It is free to everyone taking part.
The winner of the competition will receive £100 worth of vouchers (split into £10 x 10 vouchers) presented by Cllr Ricki Gadsby, Mayor of Waltham Abbey to be redeemed in the shops and cafes participating in this competition.
The Mayor’s Charity of the Year Abbeyfield Care Home will receive a donation from total sum raised minus competition prize and administration expenses.
All the shops, traders and cafes participating will be included in promotional advertising and on the AboutMyArea EN9 website.
The competition is supported by Waltham Abbey Town Council, Waltham Abbey Town Partnership, Waltham Abbey Library and the Epping Forest District Museum.
The competition details will feature in local newspapers, schools, scouting groups and youth clubs will be given competition entry forms, Epping Forest District Museum and Waltham Abbey Library will also have entry forms and will of course be advertised on the AboutMyArea EN9 website.
The number of shops and cafes is limited, so don’t miss this opportunity to increase the number of customers to your shop or cafe in half term week.
