The deadline for entries is July 15 and Burntwood Town Council is urging more residents, businesses and organisations to take part.

A spokesperson said: “We know there are many beautiful gardens, hanging baskets and troughs in the town and we really want to encourage as many people as possible to enter the competition.

“There are prizes and trophies to be won so why not give it a go?”
