Call for Judges and Sponsors – SAICE Lowveld Bridge Building Competition 2025
We are pleased to announce the inaugural SAICE Lowveld Branch Bridge Building Competition, taking place on 26 July 2025 at Penryn College.
This exciting initiative aims to foster interest in civil and structural engineering among Grade 8 to 10 learners across the Lowveld region. The event is expected to attract learners, educators and parents.
To ensure the success of the competition, we are seeking professional support in the form of sponsorships and volunteer judges. We invite structural or bridge engineers/ technologists to contribute their expertise by serving as competition judges. Your participation will provide valuable insight and mentorship to the learners.
We are also requesting sponsorships to support event logistics, specifically for the procurement of bridge construction materials and learner refreshments. Suggested material donations include:
Pins
String
Clothes pegs (for temporary clamping)
Small saws (for cutting timber sticks)
In addition, food packs or refreshments for participating learners would be greatly appreciated and would significantly enhance their overall experience.
As a token of appreciation, sponsors will have the opportunity to promote their businesses during the event, reaching a diverse audience from the local community.
Your support will directly contribute to the development of future engineers and help promote the civil engineering profession through engaging, hands-on learning.
If you are interested in supporting the event as a sponsor or judge, or if you require further information, please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
