Leith shop idol search for best dressed
window
Leith businesses will be competing to be 'top
of the shops' this February with the best window display in the
area, as a brand new initiative is launched.
'Leith shop Idol' is inviting over 600 independent
retailers, restaurants and business to apply to compete for the
title of 'Most Improved' window display and win themselves £3000
towards there business.
Three prizes are up for grabs and winners will be decided
by the public on facebook and a select panel of judges in a
Strictly Come Dancing-style vote.
A free window dress master class will be held on 18
January, 5.30-9pm, at the McDonald Road Library for any businesses
wanting to pick up tips and tricks from the experts.
Councillor Tom Buchanan, Economic Development Convenor,
said "This competition is an excellent way for Leith businesses to
showcase what they have to offer. By simply taking care of the
appearance of their shop fronts, businesses will help to increase
the vibrancy and attractiveness of the entire local area and
consequently drive more customers through the door.
"I am looking forward to seeing how businesses in the area
will exercise their creative flair over the next month."
The initiative is part of the Council's commitment to
Building Stronger Town Centres across Edinburgh and three town
centre coordinators are involved in a variety of projects to
promote their area.
Application forms will be sent to businesses over the next
week with a deadline for entries closing by 31 January. Forms can
also be downloaded at http://www.leithshopidol.co.uk/
or for more information call Sarah Woodford on 0131 529
