Big thanks to everyone who took the time to shine the light on all their good work.

Entries closed at midnight last night and we've had a fabulous response from right across the Trust.

So what happens next???

The entries will now be circulated to our shortlisters - selected from all roles at the Trust - who will score them and, from that, the finalists will emerge. They will be invited to showcase their entries at the Market Place judging event on 30 October and will then be invited to the fab, gala night on December 6 at Crossley House, Halifax.

It's always a cracking do so fingers crossed you're there too!  

To whet your appetite here's bit of information about our brand new venue this year -  Crossley House, Halifax - designed by the same man  behind Crystal Palace in London.

Crossley House was commissioned as a grand stately family residence for the local philanthropist and industrialist, Sir Francis Crossley – member of the famous Crossley family and owners of the large carpet manufacturing complex at Dean Clough Mills, Halifax.

During 1845, Belle Vue Park saw the creation of a stately mansion through the work of Sir Joseph Paxton and George Henry Stokes. Paxton was already well known for his work at Crystal Palace, which was later completed for the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London.

Its architecture is  French-style and Renaissance-inspired and has stunning ballrooms with chandeliers, ornate mirrors, oak panelling and intricate plaster work and  magnificent,  high ceilings.
