ICON Construction + Renovation Competition

Donna from Merrilands

Find the ICON near your bubble and WIN!

While we went back to work today, we know many of you are still confined to your bubbles, so our crew were keen to do something fun for those in their own neighbourhoods.

We've planted ICON logos near our homes for you to hunt out on your daily walks (see example below). If you find one, take a photo of yourself with it for proof and DM it to us (via facebook - Icon Construction + Renovation). If you're first, you'll win a $25 voucher for SOS Cafe to support a local establishment of your choice.

We've hidden them (sort of) near parks, beaches, places of activity or carparks, mainly, in the following suburbs;

▪️East End
▪️Vogeltown
▪️Frankleigh Park
▪️Westown
▪️Ngamotu
▪️Highlands Park and
▪️Inglewood (High School end)

We'll release a clue a day for each different spot - unless someone finds it first, of course. If you know someone in one of the neighbourhoods above, let them know! Happy hunting. 👀✌️
