In difficult times Council launches Louth in Bloom
Louth County Council wishes to acknowledge and honour the work being carried out during these difficult times that enhances the environment of every town and village throughout the County.
Therefore the Council is introducing a new competition for 2020. Competition entrants are invited to submit images of the great work that they have undertaken, and following an adjudication process a series of prize winners will be selected from the list of entries.
Speaking at the launch of the competition Cathaoirleach, Councillor Dolores Minogue remarked, ‘I would like to fully endorse the Louth in Bloom competition that is being organised by Louth County Council. This year has been a most challenging year for us all and I am mindful of the efforts that people and business make to enhance the environment in which we live.
Commenting at the launch Chief Executive, Joan Martin said ‘ the format of the competition is new to us in County Louth, and with current restrictions in place is the safest way in which to organise and recognise the marvellous work that people undertake to beautify their community and our county.
The categories in this completion include: Best gardens, best housing estates, and biodiversity, hospitality and business premises. Prizes will be awarded for each of the three district areas of Ardee, Drogheda and Dundalk, with an overall county winner in each category.
Entries can be made online, by post or by submitting same, attaching three clear photographs, into any of the Louth County Council Customer Services Offices in Ardee, Drogheda and Dundalk. The nomination entry form is also available in these locations. Closing date for receipt of entries is Friday 14/8/2020. Full details are available at www.louthcoco.ie or from staff in the Community Support Section on 042 932 2918.
