There were some splendid and very elaborate plot numbers on show for the judging, and the decision was a hard one with a long 'short list' of potential winners. The prize is a modest one, so no-one who was pipped to the post at the last minute should feel they have lost out.

Marks were given for imaginative use of materials, ease of reading and durability, among other considerations. Some which looked lovely on the day clearly wouldn't last the winter. Others, though very pretty or clever, were hard to read. Check out the 'short list' below and see which one YOU like best.

After a great deal of soul-searching, this simple, elegant design with pine cones has been selected by the judges as the overall winner. "The winning plot number was particularly impressive because of  its simplicity and the use of natural materials.  This gives an authentic yet stylish plot number which looked long-lasting. It is very effective as it can be easily seen from a distance".
However, the imagination and creativity of many of the others was outstanding, Below is the judges short list, plus some others which you might enjoy. Please send in photos of plot numbers on your site which you think are good, as we were not able to get acceptable photos of all the ones the judges liked.

The 'short list', plus some other stars.

Fabulous idea but how did it stand up to the wind? And it looks very professional . . . does someone work for Medash?

This one was taken away straight after the judging - hardly the idea!

Very sweet, but you had to lean very close to read it - it says 20a
Do please send in your photos; we'd love to see more. Among others, 5B Repton was also on the short list but we don't have a photo yet.

Cheeky!

Looked lovely on the day!

Top marks for legibility (the letters are about a foot high) and durability, less for artiness.

Very imaginative but not easy to read when you're trying to navigate around the site.
