Christmas competition – win a B+ and help decorate Pi Towers!

Our intrepid education team spends a lot of the year on the road. In the last six months, Clive, Ben, Carrie Anne, Dave and Rachel have attended more than fifty events on the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s behalf. And in the course of those six months, some of our equipment has started to get a bit tatty. This is our stand at Maker Faire in New York a few months ago. The banners are getting bendy with overuse. We use banners, posters, project demonstrations, leaflets and models at events to show people what we do. In January, we’re going to start redesigning our usual show stand to make it more exciting – and this world-wide competition gives everybody under the age of 18 a chance to shape what that stand will look like. We’re looking for your designs for the things we use to decorate the stand and inform people about the Raspberry Pi and what it can do: we want you to send us your design for a banner or a poster, your blueprint for a project demonstration, a leaflet you’ve written about Raspberry Pi, or anything else associated with Raspberry Pi that you think we can use to make the stand look good. If you send in something that we really love, we’ll work it into a professional version we can use when we go and present. The people who send us the best 250 ideas (we won’t be able to use them all on our stand, but we’ll consider all of them!) will receive a Pimoroni Raspberry Pi B+ Starter Kit. We also have 100 runners-up prizes. You could win a kit like this! All the entries will be displayed on the walls around Pi Towers, so if you see news footage from our offices or one of our own videos, you might spot your own work in the background! Carrie did some promo photos for her book in front of last year’s posters… …and here’s Eben on the news earlier this year, in front of the giant poster wall. To enter, have your parent or guardian print out this form and fill it in, and mail your design and the form to: Raspberry Pi Christmas Competition Mount Pleasant House Huntingdon Road Cambridge CB3 0RN UK Please note that we cannot accept entries that do not have parent/guardian contact details and signature. We are not accepting electronic entries – we want your original work to display on our walls! The closing date is January 10. We’ll be sending out prizes at the end of January. All entrants must be under 18.
