As part of the 4 April 2020 & #39;Special Offa: Communities & Offa& #39;s Dyke& #39; digital conference, supported by the Offa& #39;s Dyke Association & Archaeosoup, we launched a & #39;Digi-Dyke& #39; competition! Details:

The entries have been submitted and the suggestions of new initiatives in digital public engagement for linear earthworks were evaluated by a team of expert judges (aka Prof W + @Archaeos0up). We can now announce the winners of the scintillating and extravagant prizes!

3rd PLACE: @megportal didn& #39;t just suggest a digital initiative, it was kick-started specially for #SpecialOffa with the first-ever entry for Offa& #39;s Dyke on The Megalithic Portal! https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=53414">https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.p... Congratulations: an Offa& #39;s Dyke Path National Trail patch is yours!
DM @offasdykecentre your postal address and one of these sought after patches, in a colour of your choice, is yours! #SpecialOffa
2nd PLACE: @louiseisabed proposed we replicate & extend #SpecialOffa Trefonen Tragical History Tour - https://tinyurl.com/yx2myma4 ">https://tinyurl.com/yx2myma4&... - with more virtual tours of dykes with quizes, competitions & colouring books: a digi-dyke public engagement package! Great idea! https://tinyurl.com/s74x23z ">https://tinyurl.com/s74x23z&q...
DM @Archaeos0up with your postal address @louiseisabed and a wonderful Archaeosoup trowel/bottle-opener will be sent your way! I& #39;m most envious! Congratulations!
Finally, 1st PLACE GOES TO: @Shallam1 for the suggestion that we create online lessons on the dykes designed for different learning stages! https://twitter.com/Shallam1/status/1246869956274393089.">https://twitter.com/Shallam1/... A truly awesome #SpecialOffa idea for a digital resource that deserves a print copy of the & #39;Offa& #39;s Dyke Journal& #39;
If you would be so kind as to DM your postal address to this Twitter account, as soon as the lockdown is over, I& #39;ll post out a copy. Congratulations @Shallam1
But that& #39;s not all. We received other fabulous suggestions, plus presentations on the day contained excellent examples of digital engagement initiatives. For these, we offer #SpecialOffa @archaeosoup commendations!
