Resources may be used to submit creations and artworks or simply as a guideline. Participants are to upload an image of their creation on the Facebook event page being create for each theme. This may be accessed through the Heritage Malta Facebook page and website.

Currently the fifth theme, Roman Mosaics is open for submissions until this Sunday 21st June 2020.
