Eastwood Mall giving children opportunity to have their perfect playhouse come to life
NILES, Ohio - Children who dream of creating their perfect playhouse could see their dreams come true courtesy of the Eastwood Mall.
The mall is currently hosting the Imagination Creation Contest, in which children aged six to 14 years old are encouraged to draw their own designs for their dream one-story playhouse.
Children are tasked with drawing, coloring and illustrating a picture of the house on at least an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper. Each entry should include the name, address, parent/guardian phone number and age of the child on the back.
Ten lucky winners will then be chosen by a panel of judges to have local contractors turn those designs into real playhouses and receive mall gift cards. Designs will be judged in two groups: ages six to nine and ages 10 to 14.
The winning playhouses will then be on display inside the mall from June until mid August. After this, the playhouses will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting Akron Children's Hospital Mahoning Valley.
The contest runs between now and Sunday, April 30. Submissions are accepted at the Eastwood Mall Customer Service Center, or they can be mailed to 5555 Youngstown-Warren Rd. Niles, OH 44446.
