Harvest Festival Scarecrow Competition applications open

After a successful return last year, the famous Scarecrow Competition hosted by the LVA and sponsored by Birches of Leura is back on. This year the competition is open to 3 different categories:

• Pre-schools.
• Primary Schools.
• Leura Residents and Businesses.

Scarecrows will be placed on display in the Birches Garden Centre from Saturday 27th April 24 until Saturday 4th May 24 when they will be moved to the Leura Mall as part of the Harvest Festival prior to judging and announcement of winners.

Scarecrows must be made from recyclable materials and be self-supporting. They should be effective at keeping unwanted critters away from our veggies and plants but cute is also acceptable. Judging will be conducted from 9 am to 12pm on 4th May 24 in the Mall and announcement made at 1pm.

Category winners will each receive a $50 Birches of Leura gift voucher. Download the Entry Form here.
