Competition Winners 2025!
Chair Art
We asked you to give an old kitchen, dining or garden chair a makeover and decorate it in the theme of 'movement'.
This was the first year we introduced this competition and judging by the response, it won't be our last!
HUGE congratulations to Laura Lloyd for her brilliant entry 'Movement is an Illusion' - a brilliant interpretation of our theme that really stood out.
As our winner, Laura now have the exciting opportunity to decorate a Belle Vue bench. We can't wait to see what she creates next and we'll be sure to keep you updated.
Scarecrows
Once again, the residents of Belle Vue and Coleham created a fantastic trail filled with scarecrows and art inspired by the theme of ‘movement’ for everyone to enjoy.
This year marked the introduction of a community vote—a new addition that proved such a success, we’ll definitely be bringing it back next year.
With brilliant creativity and imagination, the judges had another tough job on their hands. But after much deliberation, we’re thrilled to announce our brilliant winners...
