You may need to be contacted as many schemes will need to be visited by the judges. Regional Judging will take place from 16th February - 6th March 2009 and National Judging from 8th - 26th June 2009. Whilst every effort is made to give as much notice as possible when arranging the judges' visits it is sometimes necessary to arrange these at short notice. Please note that judges' schedules are very tight and alternative dates are unlikely to be available.
The BCO reserves the right not to grant an Award in any region or category if, in the opinion of the judges, no scheme submitted reaches the standard considered necessary.
Please note that submissions will not be returned.
