Build a Bug House Competition - Info, Rules etc.

Post by Richard »

[center]Image[/center]

A topical competition to run us through the Summer Holidays

The idea

Build your own bug house using as much recycled material you can. Just google image search and you'll get loads of ideas.

They can be small, big, on walls, amidst the garden, wherever you feel is best for your home.

Hopefully this may also be a good summer holiday project and allow any kids or grandkids in on it !!
Bug Houses can be made to look both artistic and attractive in almost any garden.

When you're ready, post your entry photograph HERE (this will require you using photobucket - see post below if you're not sure how)
Please give your entry a short title - this will help when voting takes place, no comments please, just title.

Only one photo is permitted


Closing Date Friday 29th. August 2359hrs.

Voting will then commence from Sunday 31st. August for 10 days. You will vote for your two favourite entries.


The Prizes

Although this will probably mean me approaching the IMF for a Loan, they are as follows..

[center]Ist. Prize - £25 to spend at Amazon

2nd. Prize - £15 to spend at Omlet (they don't just do Chickens!)

3rd. Prize - £10 to spend at Amazon
