It’s your last chance to enter the Taste Cumbria Wigton flag competition - the deadline for entries is Monday 31 March at 5pm.
The aim is to showcase the best of Wigton, marking its heritage, community and unique character. The contest is open to everyone - artists, designers, or those who just love a colourful challenge.
This creative competition has been launched to coincide with the first Taste Cumbria festival of 2025 which takes place in the town on Saturday 26 April.
The finished flag will be flown over Taste Cumbria weekend, with a special prize of recognition awarded at the event itself.
All entries should be sent on email (a photo of the design is fine) to ellie.jones@cumberland.gov.uk or handed in at the main reception of the Market Hall in Wigton.
The only rules for the competition are that design must fill a sheet of A4 paper and be clearly visible on the image submitted. There are no age restrictions and team efforts are welcome. Make sure to include your name and contact details with your entry.
A steering group made up of Wigton Town Councillors, youth groups, businesses, Taste team and Cumberland Councillors will decide the winner and the judges’ decision is final. By entering into this competition, you agree to take part in festival publicity about the competition.
The winner will be contacted ahead of the Taste Wigton festival, and their name will be announced to the public on the morning of the event Saturday 26 April.
