The lumberjacks are coming!



There's a new category for The Greatest Christmas Awards 2014 and the team of Greatest Awards experts will be adding “Lumberjack” status to their judging visits in the search for The Greatest Winter Woodland Display of Artificial Trees.

Sponsored by Scentsicles, the fragranced tree decoration product that has featured in the Top 50 of the GTN Bestsellers Christmas Products Charts for the past two weeks, the Lumberjack Award will be presented to the retail team that have created the best display of artificial Christmas trees.

Festive Productions, who are the UK distributors for Scentsicles have already invited all stockists to enter the competition by sending in photos of their artificial tree woodland display and then The Greatest Christmas Awards “Lumberjacks” will come along and meet the teams to gather the all important background information before the winners are chosen.

The expert visits for The Greatest Christmas Awards have already started, but it’s not too late to be added to the list, just send us your nomination together with a photo and we’ll do the rest.

The Lumberjack Award for The Greatest Winter Woodland Display of Artificial Trees will be presented at The Greatest Awards Christmas Party on January 11th in the Majestic Hotel, Harrogate.

Send your nominations and photos to: Cassie Hedlund at Festive Productions, or post onto the Festive Productions Facebook page, just as St Peters Garden Centre already have, or send them to The Greatest Awards and we will forward them on trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk
