The Calgary Tower is hoping to spur some creativity in the community by asking residents to fashion their own version of the city’s iconic building using only household items.

The organization took to Twitter on Monday to announce the contest.

“We’re challenging Calgarians to build their own Calgary Towers from household materials,” the tweet said.

“Everyone who participates will be entered into a draw to win a trip to the tower for the whole family once we reopen.”

What a great idea, thank you.”
