Eco-invention competition: win an encounter with Deadly 60′s Steve Backshall

This competition has now closed. If you'd like to be inspired by the winning entries and see photos of the winners' encounter with Steve Backshall, visit Flickr. You can also be inspired by the entries from the runners up on Flickr. A big thank you to everyone who entered - the entries were all amazing and inspiring and judging was very difficult!

Taking your inspiration from nature, what can you invent to make the world a better place?

Your entry could be in the form of a drawing, photo or poem, in fact the only limit to the competition is your imagination.

9 winners will be chosen. The winners and their families (up to 5 people per family) will be invited to the Museum on Wed 13 Apr, 4-5pm to meet Deadly 60’s Steve Backshall with a chance to ask Steve questions, have a photo taken, get an autograph and show him the winning entries. Steve Backshall will be opening our new Living Worlds gallery later that day.

Please send your entries to:
Eco-invention competition, The Manchester Museum, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL

By Wed 30 Mar 2011. Remember to include your contact details with your entry – name, address, phone number and email address (if you have one). The winners will be announced on Wed 6 Apr 2011.
