Batty for Hallowe’en Competition

BAT CONSERVATION IRELAND’S  

Hallowe’en Competition

The theme is: Best Bat-Themed Hallowe’en Decoration

We are asking all of our supporters (adults included!) to put their thinking caps on and make a bat inspired Hallowe’en decoration.  This competition has a wide interpretation, so it could be anything from hanging decorations to a Hallowe’en display.  Be as creative as you like (as long as it is an original piece of work) – the decoration can be made of any type of material, although as a conservation organisation we advocate for using recyclable materials – put those empty toilet rolls to good use!  Due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, please take a photograph of your decoration and email it to us at: thebigbatdraw@gmail.com.  Closing date for entries is Sunday 1 November 2020.  Winners will be announced on Monday 23 November 2020 and will be informed directly.

Prizes for the competition are as follows:

Younger supporters

• First Prize: €40 voucher for the Art and Hobby Shop
• Second Prize: €30 voucher for Easons
• Third Prize: Learn About Bats T-Shirt

1. First Prize: Bat Conservation Ireland Jacket
