Ogden Nature Center Call for Entries: It’s time to build birdhouses! • Size limitations: The base of the birdhouse may not exceed 24” square. The height of the actual birdhouse (not including the post) may not exceed 36” tall. • All birdhouses must be freestanding on their own post and ready for installation outdoors. Birdhouses that are not freestanding will not be accepted for the exhibit. You must perch your birdhouse atop a sturdy post or attach a strong hanger. Posts will be installed at a depth of 1-2 feet, so plan for that extra footage that gets buried in the ground. • The Nature Center encourages the use of natural, reclaimed, and recycled materials. Please consider the environment when choosing your materials and finishes. Please, no propane tanks this year. • Please build sturdy birdhouses. Birdhouses need to last through all seasons outdoors. • The judges will select which birdhouses are accepted into the 2017 exhibit. A limited number of entries will be accepted for the exhibit. • The Ogden Nature Center reserves the right to refuse submissions.
