BUSINESSES and shops in Crediton annually decorate their windows or create a display each Christmas, and are now invited to take part in a similar competition to mark the Coronation of King Charles III.

The competition, run by the “Crediton Courier”, will be decided by readers votes.

Windows should be put in place from Tuesday, May 2 and remain in place until noon on Tuesday, May 9.

Voting forms will be included in the "Crediton Courier" published on Thursdays, May 4 and 11.

The public will be asked to vote by noon on Monday, May 15.

No photocopies will be accepted.

Shops and businesses can encourage their clients/shoppers to complete the voting forms, and the forms should be returned to the Crediton Courier office at 102 High Street, Crediton, EX17 3LF by the closing date.

The winner of the competition will be the shop or business with the most received votes.

Certificates and other prizes will go to the winner and runners-up, courtesy of the competition sponsor, Morrisons of Crediton and the “Crediton Courier”.  A presentation will be made to the winner and runners-up.
