Go green for Sapphire Coast verge contest
Sapphire Coast Tourism, together with Illovo Nursery and South Coast Sun, celebrate the launch of a business, residential and public space verge contest that runs from Sunday, 10 February to Wednesday, 10 May.
PUT your green fingers to good use as Sapphire Coast Tourism, together with Illovo Nursery and South Coast Sun, celebrate the launch of a business, residential and public space verge contest that runs from Sunday, 10 February to Wednesday, 10 May.
Those who beautify their verges stand a chance to win great prizes sponsored by Illovo Nursery.
Last year’s prizegiving: Sapphire Coast on the verge of success
All Sapphire Coast residents are urged to enter.
The Sapphire Coast stretches from the eZimbokodweni River north of Athlone Park, Amanzimtoti down the coast to the Mahlongwa River just south of Crocworld, Clansthal and inland up to Umbumbulu.
On completion, photos of your manicured verges should be entered into the competition by emailing these to hollyk@dbn.caxton.co.za and also post them on Sapphire Coast Tourism’s Facebook page. All entrants must understand that by submitting their photo entries, these photos become the property of the Sun and Sapphire Coast Tourism.
A panel of judges consisting of members from various environmentally-conscious groups in the community will judge the entered verges and score them.
Business, residential and public spaces (schools, churches, parks or areas alongside train-tracks for example) are the three categories that entries will be grouped in. The photos must be recent, and of gardens that were created within 2019. Romy Wenzel of Sapphire Coast Tourism explained that this contest looks to not only motivate the community to keep their verges tidy and not depend solely on the municipality, but also to uplift the area.
A winner will be chosen, and other spot prizes will be awarded.
Prize-giving will be hosted by Illovo Nursery.
