my grandkid could design that - backyard cottage design challenge
Announcing a soft launch of our international my kid could design that - backyard cottage design challenge. The challenge is open to children 12 and under and will test their creativity and be a lot of fun. Loosely patterned after the backyard cottage design challenge last spring in Seattle we would like to unleash the creativity of our youngest citizens. The competition is for the best designs of a backyard house or cottage. For our competition, we would encourage our participants to think outside of the box. So the rules are no rules. Awards will be given for various age categories so we would ask that parents not interfere too much. Prizes will be awarded to the winners and their designs will be featured on our blog and the microhousenw web page. Design ideas may be presented in almost any media from finger paints to gingerbread to computer google sketchup models. An image of entry will be need to be submitted in jpeg or pdf format for judging and should include a verbal description of the entry. We are working on an entry form until then please contact info@microhousenw.com. with my kid could design that in the subject header.
