Cleethorpes is one of four elite towns taking part in the competition, which was set up to recognise entrants who have achieved consistently high standards in the In Bloom contests.
It is now up against Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, Oakham in Leicestershire, and Market Bosworth in Leicestershire, all of which are vying for the title.
