Put your creative, engineering and building skills to the test and see if you can help us to Build Waterford!
Waterford Libraries in partnership with the Waterford Europe Direct Information Centre are delighted to announce Build Waterford, an exciting new project to showcase and celebrate our local areas and encourage creativity.
To get involved all you need to do is re-create your favourite Waterford Location, Landmark or Locality using Recycled Materials, Lego, modelling clay or even digitally using Minecraft! Then send a photograph of the finished creation along with a short description, including what it’s made with and the reason for choosing to build it to us by email at: lboyle@waterfordcouncil.ie
A selection of entries received will be featured in a specially commissioned video, on our social media channels and on our website as an exhibition in the new S.T.E.A.M. Zone area on waterfordlibraries.ie during February 2021.
Closing date for project entries is Friday 15th January 2021.
The Build Waterford Project is open to young people aged 18 and under. Parental permission must be included with all entries.
For more information please contact Lorraine Boyle at: lboyle@waterfordcouncil.ie
