We look forward to hosting many more contests over the coming year, a special feature will be 'The Great Kiwi DIY Experiment' where entrants are encouraged to use really out of the box components to their entries and come back to PLAY - Play and vulnerable (but safe!) experimentation is where all progress and innovation happens. The weirder the better, we will be seeing it in 2021!
