Why apply for the Living Countryside Awards?

We take a look at some the benefits that the Living Countryside Awards can bring to applicants and nominees.

Promoting

• The Living Countryside Awards are a great opportunity to share your work with others and engage with new audiences.
• Nominees will be able to use a range of specially created digital assets to show that their work has been recognised.
• We will celebrate entrants on our website and social media channels.
• Finalists will be invited to take part in making a short film (5-10 mins) about their project. This will be organised by CPRE Bedfordshire and applicants will be able to use the finished films to promote their projects.
• We will follow through after the awards with project updates and features on our website and in our magazine Bedfordshire Matters.

Connecting

• We will provide opportunities to come together with other nominees to share experience and knowledge.
• A series of virtual events based on the needs of the nominees will be developed to encourage collaborative working, knowledge sharing and learning.
