Junior Bake Off - Series 10

RULES OF ENTRY for JUNIOR BAKE OFF SERIES 10 (the “Programme”)

1. Junior Bake Off is a nationwide talent search for junior amateur bakers. All applicants must be aged 9 years (or over) on 1st June 2024, but less than 13 years on 30th September 2024.

2. All applicants must be resident in the UK (including Isle of Man and Channel Islands).

3. Applicants must be able to commit to all the filming days required for the Programme, which we anticipate will be filmed over the period from June to September 2024 for up to 20 days of filming. For successful applicants, we will confirm more precise filming dates as well as more detailed arrangements for filming nearer the time. Please note we try to avoid taking children out of school by scheduling filming for weekends and school holidays, but we cannot guarantee this is always possible. If your child was required to miss any school days in order to take part we would liaise with the school and local authority to make sure we have the correct licence in place to do this.

Parent(s)/ guardian(s) of applicants may be required to provide Love with any assistance or further information necessary to complete these checks.
