AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
Last year we launched our Doors Open Day Awards for Excellence to
champion those that go the extra mile for their visitors.
If you think a particular building, walk leader, speaker or event deserves to be
championed then nominate them! To nominate simply email the title of the
building, event, or person, along with why you think they deserve to receive
an Award for Excellence to [email protected] Nominations close 12noon
Monday, 13th October.
All nominators will be entered into a prize draw for a Family Explorer Pass
from Historic Scotland.
Last year, Oliver Rigg won our competition and
named our Dormouse Boris. This year we are
looking for your help to find Boris, our sneaky Dormouse who is hiding in all of the Doors Open Day
buildings. When you find him, take a picture of you
both and send to [email protected] or tweet @
GlasgowDOD using #WhereIsBoris to be entered into
our prize draw.
We will be posting all the Boris Dormouse photos
on our website – keep a look out for yours.
One entry per person. Entrants must be age 16 or
under. Competition closes 12noon Monday, October 13th.
You could win…
