TIME is running out for young designers from across the nation who are building or designing their dream home.
Our Mini Home Builder Challenge, a competition which will test the creative ability of children aged under 11, ends on December 23.
This opportunity for children to build or design their dream home, using building or art and craft materials to demonstrate how easy and fun designing your dream home can be will be judged over the Christmas period.
Andrew Reardon, our Senior Selfbuild Account Handler at ProAktive Selfbuild, said: “There is not long to go now. We’ve already had some great entries in and cannot wait to see the different designs that young people from across the country come up with.
“With a competition like this, the only constraints are their own imagination and we know there are some amazingly imaginative children out there.”
Entries made from building bricks, computer game generated designs, and drawings have already been submitted and children are coming up with creative ways in which to go about meeting this challenge.
“With schools shutting from Friday 16 December and families looking for things to keep the children entertained this challenge provides a great chance to get the children using art, design and creative development.”
There are three age categories for the competition, under 5s, 6 – 8 year olds and 9-11 year olds.
Entrants will need to upload their videos or images of their design, building process, or the completed build, to the Mini Home Builder Challenge portal: www.selfbuildonline.co.uk.
“We’ll be offering prizes for the most imaginative and creative mini self builds. As part of the judging process, the entries with the most likes, shares, favourites and retweets will help form the final shortlist of entries, to be judged by an expert panel. Family and friends are encouraged to get involved on social media, good luck to all entrants,” added Andrew.
The overall competition winner will receive a family getaway (for a family of 4) to a family attraction of their choice, (to the value of £500)
The competition closes on Friday December 23rd 2016 and the winners will be announced on January 31st 2017.
