POTENTIAL carnival queens and princesses have only seven days before the annual Trowbridge competition.

Organisers want as many people as possible to enter the event at the Civic Hall next Friday.

The town carnival committee is looking for entrants who like helping others and raising money for good causes.

Entrants for the princess competition should be aged between seven and 15 and are asked to be at the Civic Hall, from 6pm to 9pm on Friday.

The carnival queen is being chosen the same night, from 8pm. Entrants must be over 16 and the winner will be given a free dress, jewellery, and will be required to represent the town at some civic events during the year.
