Housebuilder launches competition for Shropshire gamers to find designers of the future

Whether it’s Minecraft, The Sims, Roblox or even Animal Crossing, Redrow, currently building at Abbey Walk and Abbey Fields, in Priorslee, is calling for gamers of all ages to get involved.

There are three categories to enter, with prizes including children’s art vouchers, an MSI Curved Gaming Monitor, Razer Streamer and a broadcast bundle, as well as the chance to secure a work placement with the Redrow Midlands team.

There is also a category for adults to showcase their creative abilities too.

Digital builders from across Shropshire can apply by visiting the competition page at redrow.co.uk/recreateredrow and emailing an image or video of their design to the relevant age category before August 27.

Gamers can also enter by sharing their designs on social media tagging @Redrow on Twitter, @Redrowhomes on Instagram or commenting on the Facebook competition post along with #RecreateRedrow.

Each entry will be reviewed by an expert panel of judges, including YouTube gaming star, Clare Siobhan, as well as group customer and marketing director, Matt Grayson, group master planning director, Kevin Parker, group design and technical director, Stuart Norton, and head of talent, Anna Milne.

Elaine Cartwright, sales director for Redrow Midlands, said: “As a builder committed to giving people a better way to live, our homes and communities are well-known for the distinctive character and quality they offer our customers.

“Here at Redrow, we understand that our business is only as good as its people.

"We value those that make us a success, and are committed to nurturing the next generation of talent.

“Gaming is a hobby that can sometimes get a bad reputation, yet we know that there are so many talented people out there with exceptional digital ability and a fantastic eye for detail, two skills that are really important in housebuilding.

"We recognise that this talent can, and should be nurtured and championed, which is why we’re keen to encourage gamers to channel this interest positively, and consider a career in the construction industry.

“From architecture, to bringing visions to life through bricklaying, there really is a career for everyone at Redrow.”
