**Builders’ merchants Jewson is offering £100,000 to help fund community projects
in its Building Better Communities campaign. The winning entries will receive a 
combination of donated products from Jewson plus cash.**

Regional winners will receive support of £1,000 and £5,000, and the overall winner
will receive £50,000 in prizes.

Applications and nominations should be in no more than 300 words. Jewson is looking
for projects which have a sustainable impact, use sustainable products, and reach
a large number of people (but without giving undue bias towards urban areas).

Projects could be a new roof for a village hall, a sensory garden for local school
children or the renovation of a long-forgotten community building.

Once the nominations period has closed, a shortlist will be announced. This will
then be put to a public vote.

The closing date for entries to [Jewson’s Building Better Communities](https://www.buildingbettercommunities.co.uk)
is **12 April 2015**.
