Any other comments:
- Maybe have a smaller window for displaying them so there is a festival fortnight rather than have them spread out over weeks
- Make the voting fair
- Have an independent judge
- Make people stick to the theme
- Have a separate children's competition
- Advertise more to bring people in from all over
- Have criteria for what constitutes a scarecrow (i.e. must be made from straw!)
- Have an actual event on a the day to celebrate (BBQ / Party etc)
- More emphasis on the charity and more advertising
- Perhaps the official entry and fee put people off
- Leaflets and posters as not everyone is on FB / web
- Hope it becomes an annual event
