Colouring the Community - 10th anniversary
Here at Dulux Decorator Centres we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Colouring the Community. To celebrate its success, we are marking the occasion with a new competition - where an amazing £10,000 worth of paint and materials is up for grabs!
Ten special community projects across the UK could each win £1,000 worth of paint and decorating materials to makeover its premises and we are appealing to schools, charities and community groups in and around Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Maidstone, Bristol, Belfast, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff to put themselves forward.
Colouring the Community, which initially launched back in 2000, allows us to give something back to the communities we serve - from schools to animal sanctuaries and churches to charities. We provide donations of paint and materials so they can restore their premises. To date we have given away a phenomenal £50,000 worth of decorating products.
Enter the 10th anniversary competition
To enter the 10th anniversary competition all you have to do is fill in the form to tell us (in just 200 words) why you think your group deserves to win. We would also like each group to upload an image of the premises in need of a makeover.
All entries need to be submitted by Friday 24th September 2010 and Dulux Decorator Centres will select three finalists for each of the above 10 regions.
The finalists will be contacted by Dulux Decorator Centres and then each finalist will need to drum up interest in the local community and get as many people as possible to log onto the Dulux Decorator Centres' website and vote for them. The finalist with the most votes in each of the 10 regions will then win £1,000 worth of paint and decorating products. All winners will be announced on Friday 5th November 2010.
