Design a Crown Competition
Ellesmere Library would like to announce the launch of a competition to design a Crown. This is a free competition for children aged six to fourteen years. The design can be a 2-dimensional picture from a template you can collect from the library or a 3-dimensional model using materials of your choice.
The closing date for the competition is 3.30pm on Saturday 26 May.
There will be winners from two age groups with prizes donated by local bookshop Ellesmere Books. A selection of entries will be displayed at Ellesmere Library once the winners have been announced.
