HOW TO PACK & SEND US YOUR WINNING ENTRIES!

You have gone to a lot of trouble to make your best jars of jam or preserve, so make sure that you pack up your jars carefully so that they arrive in tip top condition.

1. Correctly labelled your jar.  Label the front of the jar with class, name of jam and full date when made.  In addition, attach a label with your name and telephone number/email address to the bottom of the jar.
   
   
2. Now pack it up either using lots of bubble wrap – make sure you have given each jar a few layers.  Or, you can pack each jar in a cardboard tube with bubble wrap in each end to keep the jar in place.  It might be an idea to cover the whole tube in bubble warp, just to make sure it’s well protected.
   
   
3. Now pack your jar(s) along with your completed entry form and competition entry fee(s) - £5 per jar per class for adults and free for children – in a cardboard box. Seal tight. Sadly, broken jars will have to be discarded, so ensure your entry is well wrapped up.
