Participants must look for the road signs shown in photographs in the book\, where the vital name of the street is blanked out.\n\nThe aim is to figure out the missing names and add them to the book. The street names reveal a poem and participants can use their local knowledge\, and clues in the photographs and the poem’s emerging story to help them.\n\nOriginally planned for April 2020\, Street Hunt had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. This time the organisers are pa rtnering with community bookshop The Book Stop\, who will be selling Stree t Hunt books. Books are available to pre-order today via www.heartofglass. org.uk/street-hunt\nThe first person to submit a correctly completed book with all the right answers wins. The more people that play the game and jo in Street Hunt\, the bigger the prize. There’s a guaranteed minimum priz e of £1\,000 and a maximum of £6\,000 if all the books are sold.\nArtist Joshua Sofaer created the project. He worked with Heart of Glass previous ly on the Your Name Here project (2015)\, which saw the renaming of Ravenh ead Greenway Park as Vera Page Park. For Street Hunt\, Joshua travelled ac ross the borough to find street names he could craft a poem from and took photographs of the street signs as clues. Joshua previously ran the projec t in Colchester and Norfolk. The winner in Norfolk was a nurse who did it with her partner. They used the money to go on a holiday to East Asia.\nAr tist Joshua Sofaer says:\n“It's wonderful to see this project being real ised nearly two years after it was originally planned. It was a pleasure t o be able to  to travel around St Helens\, discovering more about the tow n and the wider borough. There are all sorts of interesting stories to be discovered in the streets and their names. How well do you know St Helens? "\nKat Dempsey\, Executive Director at Heart of Glass says:\n“The past 2 years have demonstrated just how important it is to get out and about to connect with our communities and enjoy our green spaces. We’re thrilled to welcome Joshua back to St Helens and to see this fun\, creative project happen. With lighter summer evenings and (hopefully!) warm weather ahead\ , Street Hunt will be a fun family-friendly way for anyone to explore St H elens\, be creative and be in with a chance of winning up to £6K.”\nNik Loewe\, The Book Stop Manager says:\n“The Book Stop was established in November 2021\, as a hub for the community and independent bookshop\, and we’re so excited to partner with Heart of Glass and be part of this insp iring art project. Our vision is to inspire people through reading\, and c an’t wait to see how people in St Helens respond to this poetic treasure hunt!”\nKey information:\n\n- Books can be pre-ordered from 16 June www .heartofglass.org.uk/street-hunt\n- Books will be available to collect (or buy if not pre-ordered) from The Book Stop\, Bridge Street\, St Helens fr om 10am\, Saturday 9 July and are priced £6 each.\n\n- The winner is the first person to successfully complete the poem and hand in their book.
