Hertfordshire Village of the Year 2010 is sponsored by Hertfordshire Community Foundation in association with Hertfordshire County Council, North Hertfordshire District Council & Hertfordshire Mercury
The competition recognises, rewards and encourages vibrant village communities. It is judged in four categories: Environment, People, Business and Communications. Villages can enter as many, or as few, categories as they wish. Each category carries a prize. One of the major prize-winners, Village of the Year East, Village of the Year North or Village of the Year West is chosen as the overall Hertfordshire Village of the Year.
Who is the Village of the Year Competition for?
Any village, can enter the competition - quality rather than quantity is what counts, although there is a population limit, 6,000 (nb the upper limit has increased from 2010). Any interested organisations, or individuals, can enter their village - but check with the Clerk to the Parish Council first, to avoid duplication of effort.
