The winner of the best decorated house competition will receive a gift voucher worth £100 and the best decorated business will win a commemorative plaque. Both prizes will be presented on the winner’s podium on race day, Tuesday 5 September, in Scunthorpe’s Central Park.

Councillor Rob Waltham, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We want the North Lincolnshire stage to be remembered for our brilliantly decorated towns and villages and we’ve already started to see bright green bikes popping up around the area.

“We’ve launched the best decorated competitions to celebrate those who are going the extra mile to make sure their property looks its best for race day.

“Hosting the Tour of Britain this year is expected to provide a £5m boost to the local economy and attract thousands of visitors. It is encouraging to see residents and business owners making the most of this huge opportunity for our area.”

The deadline for applications is midnight on Monday August 28. Our team of judges will then visit all the registered houses and business to find our winners.

If you want an old bike to decorate for your house or business, you can apply for a free one at www.nltour.co.uk/bicycles.

North Lincolnshire is set to host a full stage of this year’s OVO Energy Tour of Britain on Tuesday 5 September 2017. The event is the largest free to watch sporting event in the UK.
