Welcome to Snow Abu Dhabi's Exclusive School Competition!

“Make a Snowman” (Grades 1-7)
Students are invited to create a Snowman entirely out of recycled materials! It’s all about turning everyday waste into something fun and artistic. To take the challenge further, students will also write a short story (around 400 words) answering these questions:
• How would climate change affect a real Snowman?
• What can we do to make things better?
Maquette specifications:
• 60 cm (height) x 30 cm (width) x 30 cm (depth)
• At least 70% of the material should be recycled material [Tip: the more recycled the more creative points to be earned!]
“Build a Snow Park” (Grades 8-12)

In this challenge, students will design and construct a Snow Park model using recycled materials. But there’s more — your Snow Park needs to include a reception area, at least 3 attractions or rides, and one F&B outlet. Additionally, participants must prepare a feasibility plan, which includes budgeting, marketing, and maintenance strategies.

Design specifications:

  • 40 cm (elevation), 60 cm x 70 cm (base)
  • At least 70% of the material should be recycled material [Tip: the more recycled the more creative points to be earned!]

 

School Requirement:

    • Availability is limited to 32 schools per competition (64 total) on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Competition Details and Eligibility
This competition is free for the students to participate. However, due to the high demand, and the limitations on judging the projects, we have set a criterion for the eligibility to participate. Schools are encouraged to book and confirm 300* students to be entitled to nominate five students. Those five students will represent their classmates and the school in the competition. This competition is available only for Abu Dhabi and Al Ain Schools and limited to 32 schools.
