‘VeloDream’ – a competition for UK schoolchildren to design their own dream Cycling venues for future Games - was launched by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) today.
Complementing the Design and Technology school curriculum, the competition taps into the creative talents of pupils aged 5-16.
It encourages them to submit VeloPark designs, which can be illustrations, paintings, drawings, photos, computer images, presentations and even films.
A winning primary and secondary school from each region will be selected for a competition final early next year, when a primary and secondary school will be announced as national winners.
The prize for the two winning schools will include the opportunity to work with the 2012 VeloPark designers and learn at first-hand how to create a world-class sports venue.
More than 180 schools around the country have already signed up to take part, with a deadline of the end of November to submit their design entries.
ODA Chief Executive David Higgins said: ‘Youth participation, world-class sport and design excellence are all at the heart of our plans for 2012, so the VeloDream competition is a great way to bring these elements together in the classroom and inspire schoolchildren around the country.’
