SHOP owners are invited to get creative and come up with an eye-catching window display for a chance to win a carnival competition.

Pershore Carnival is launching is Carnival Window Display Competition, ahead of the event on Monday, May 29, and is urging businesses to get involved.

The competition is based around the carnival's theme – The World of Music – and the winner will be presented with a trophy, bottle of bubbly and certificate.

Colin Shepherd, carnival chairman, said: "Pershore retailers have always been very supportive of carnival and once again we are asking them to get into the carnival spirit and get involved.

"We already have a couple of new retailers interested in taking part for the first time. It would be fantastic if the whole high street joined in, it really does add to the day."

The winning trophy is sponsored by Carrick Travel, while there will be prizes for second, third and highly commended places.

Entries must be submitted by Tuesday, May 16, and judging will take place on Friday, May 19
