How to enter these family competitions

We Are Scarborough and Say Hello Coast have come together to organise three competitions which they hope will inspire Yorkshire coast residents to get together in a creative and fun way.

The competitions have been inspired by the Jo Cox Foundation’s Great Get Together event, which seeks to celebrate Jo’s life and her vision of bringing people together.

Scarborough has joined in with the national Great Get Together celebrations for the past three years and rather than miss out this year, organisers have decided to go ahead in a way that will safely bring people together in celebration of the town, the borough and key workers.

The plan is to hold three competitions around the theme of Scarborough Fair, which has brought the people of the Yorkshire coast together for centuries.

The three competitions are:

A postcard competition A song lyric competition A multi genre competition for writers, poets, model makers and performers

All three competitions will have first and second prizes for entrants who are 11 and under, 12 to 18 years and over 18.

The project is open to everyone. All those posting entries should bear in mind that the competitions are family friendly.

The closing date for competition entries is midnight on Monday June 15. The winners will be announced online from June 19 to 21.
