Community spirit is a result of a number of factors. To help the judges compose a stronger picture of how your community operates, you will also be asked to submit a short analysis (not more than 500 words) telling us what makes your village special. This will explain what your community considers its strengths and weaknesses, as well as its opportunities and threats.
