Interest now; applications later
Applications are not yet open. Registering interest does not enter you into the Championship, reserve a place, appoint you to a role or oblige you to pay. It lets you express interest in the activity described when you register.
The brackets, categories, Wildcard routes, awards and roles shown on the preview describe plans. Final entry rules will be available before applications open. This page sets out general expectations; it is not a complete competition rulebook.
What entry rules will explain
Before entries open, we will publish the responsible organiser, eligibility and age requirements, permitted locations, categories, opening and closing dates, how to enter, and any costs. Rules will also explain evidence requirements, judging criteria, tie-breaks, conflicts of interest, prizes or recognition, and how outcomes are communicated.
Any Wildcard process, verification, disqualification, review or appeal route, cancellation arrangements and use of winner information will be explained in the applicable rules. Do not spend money or start work on the assumption that a preview guarantees eligibility, progression or a prize.
Permissions and honest entries
Only enter work you are entitled to enter and accurately describe who contributed. Obtain required landowner, group and image permissions. Follow the Growing & Local Permissions guidance and the rules for the activity.
Do not trespass, damage habitats, use prohibited methods, falsify results or present generated or altered images as documentary evidence of real work. Entry-specific rules will explain any permitted image editing and evidence checks.
Groups, children and safeguarding
Schools, households and community groups must identify an appropriately authorised adult contact and agree supervision, permissions and safeguarding with the organiser. Age eligibility will be stated for each activity; this preview does not establish a universal minimum participation age.
Do not send children’s names, contact details, exact locations or identifiable images unless requested through an appropriate process with the required authority and privacy information. Roles involving children or vulnerable people may require checks and training before appointment.
Volunteers and local roles
Role names are proposed opportunities, not current appointments or offers of employment. Before taking a role, agree its scope, supervision, training, safeguarding, expenses, insurance and safety responsibilities with the actual organiser.
Do not represent yourself as an appointed Bloomin’ Proud official, collect money, enter contracts or make promises on our behalf without written authority. A title, entry or badge gives no ownership of land or project assets. Legal status depends on the actual arrangement and applicable law.
Respect, access and safe participation
Treat people fairly and respectfully. Harassment, threats, discrimination and misuse of personal information are not acceptable. Discuss access and support needs with the organiser before participating so suitable arrangements can be considered.
Follow reasonable site and safety instructions. Organisers should identify who is responsible for risk assessment, supervision, equipment and emergency arrangements. Insurance and permissions should be checked for the particular activity; participation is not evidence of automatic cover.
Photographs, stories and publication
Registering interest or contacting us privately is not permission to publish your message or photographs. Before requesting entry material, we will explain what is required, how it is used, what may be published and any necessary licence or permission.
Avoid sharing identifiable bystanders, private addresses or children without the required permission. Any optional publicity consent will be distinguished from information genuinely necessary to administer the competition.
Concerns and rights
For participation concerns, contact legal@snuffleruff.com, identifying the activity and organiser. For personal-information concerns, contact privacy@snuffleruff.com. Immediate safety concerns should go to the responsible site contact or emergency service as appropriate.
Our Terms & Conditions preserve your statutory rights. Nothing here excuses our own negligence or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
