The competition is open to pupils aged between 11 and 15 years old and challenges students to create their own real-life interpretations of what Telford Shopping Centre will look like in 40 years time, including futuristic transport systems and shops of the future.

The competition ends on Sunday 14th July at 4pm, with the winning entry being announced in September.

The lucky winners will then see their innovative design recreated into a large scale replica model.
This will be unveiled on Saturday 19 October and will be part of the centre’s futuristic weekend celebrations.

Tracy Hadley, Marketing and Events Manager at the shopping centre, said:

“We are all very excited to be celebrating the ‘Big 4-0’ and feel that a competition like this, involving school children and the local community, is the perfect way to mark such a special occasion.
“We can’t wait to see the first entries come in.”
