Design a Bug Hotel | Competition

We need your help to design a Bug Hotel! A home for bugs that will be made from reusing construction site materials such as pallets, drainpipes, plastic ducting, gravel, bricks and roof tiles.

Bug Hotels provide a safe hideaway for creatures galore. A well-built hotel can shelter anything from hedgehogs to toads, solitary bees to bumblebees, and ladybirds to woodlice. 

Our competition to design a Bug Hotel has been launched by Enva in partnership Glencar Construction's Environmental team to promote sustainability awareness and the reuse of construction site materials.

The winning Bug Hotel design will be built from construction materials by Glencar Construction for your school. The Winner and 2 runners up will also receive a family ticket to White Post Farm.
