Now Your Village Could Be the Best in the UK

Villages throughout the UK are being offered the opportunity to be judged the best in the whole of the United Kingdom with the launch of the UK Calor Village of the Year competition.

The UK competition adds a higher tier to the existing competitions, and, for the first time ever, the winning villages from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will compete for the honour of being crowned the United Kingdom Calor Village of the Year.

Competition manager, Suzanne Weir, commented: “Calor Village of the Year is a very progressive competition and we’re constantly looking for ways of raising the bar for villages as well as bringing the competition to the notice of more communities.

“We have recognised that, while village communities across the UK face very different issues, they tackle their problems with the same community spirit. This competition is about celebrating what they have in common and what brings them together in the face of adversity.”

For a chance of winning the UK competition, villages must first fight their way through their national competition to become the winner.  Each national competition is looking for villages that excel in categories such as ‘People’, ‘Business’, and ‘Environment’ while also showing a special ‘X’ factor.

If your village is vibrant, enterprising and friendly you could be in with a chance of winning!
