Huge congratulations to Poppy - what a fantastic entry! 🌈

Congratulations to Poppy, the winner of our Golden Valley Imagine competition!

At this year’s Party in the Park, we invited young visitors to draw their dream homes and future communities, before seeing AI bring their ideas to life. Their ideas were fantastic!

Following our public vote, Poppy (Ticket 123) received the most votes and has won a £100 Cheltenham Gift Card. Well done, Poppy! Her winning home was inspired by the theme of a rainbow, bringing plenty of colour and imagination to her vision.

A huge well done also to our fantastic runners-up, Thea, Elayna and Matilda, who will each receive a £25 voucher.

Thank you to everyone who entered and voted. We loved seeing the creativity behind all the entries and the different ideas they had for their homes.
