Heroes, Myths and Legends
Every culture has their own legends, heroes, villains, and fables. From the Epic of Gilgamesh, to the Thousand Paper Cranes, to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, there are an infinite number of stories to be told! This year's Open Build will bring these stories to life. We want you to pick your favourite story or character and create a display that showcases this idea. You are welcome to be as figurative or literal as you would like!
​
(A special thanks to Matt C. for the idea for the competition!)
