Our colleagues at BRAMM are delighted to announce the following information –
BRAMM Cemetery of the Year Awards 2025
The FREE to enter competition will once again be available on-line from 31 March until 30 June 2025 and open to any Burial Authority (Cemetery or Churchyard) within the UK.
The three categories of Cemeteries in this year’s competition are –
A. Large Burial Grounds above 10,000 graves
B. Small/Medium Burial Grounds up to 10,000 graves
C. Parish, Town and Community Councils
We will once again be using a photographic element to the competition to allow a subjective section to the scoring process (this will only involve the CYA finalists during adjudication).
Extra marks will be awarded for the maintenance and appeal of the Cemeteries and used to determine the Gold and Silver places in their category – creating another dimension to the competition.
The winner will receive a CYA Gold Award Certificate and a CYA Press Release that can be used to promote your award in your local newspaper, website and social media.
Silver Awards Certificates will be presented to the runners-up along with a CYA Press Release to promote your award.
Note: The competition will also include the following extra two categories in this year’s competition.
D. The Best New CYA Entrant Award: for the highest scoring new entry in each category in CYA 2025.
E. The BRAMM Bereaved Community Award:£1,000 prize to be won!
If your Cemetery or Burial Ground has completed any local initiative which has helped the bereaved in any way within the last 5 years you are eligible to enter for this award.
