New and start-up businesses are invited to enter the Grow with the Show competition, in association with Lincolnshire Agricultural Society, Ruddocks, Optima Design and Carrington Communications for a chance to win a number of prizes including the opportunity to exhibit at Lincolnshire Show!

The only criteria is businesses must be under three years old to be eligible. The winner will receive a £250 cash prize, complimentary digital marketing session or SEO consultation from Optima Graphic Design, point of sale material to the value of £300 from Ruddocks and a PR Strategy Session with post Lincolnshire Show campaign.

Plus, the winner will be given a premium exhibitor space at the Lincolnshire Show as part of the prize, to showcase their business to over 56,000 visitors over the two days. We'll be on hand to support the vision for your stand and will also provide promotion for you and your business via our website, social media platforms, and PR activity before and during the Show.

The runner up will receive £100 plus two Society guest badges giving admission to the Lincolnshire Show and access to our exclusive ringside Members' area as well as a discounted fee for an exhibitor space.
