What a busy end to the term! As you may recall, the Library held a competition earlier in the year to celebrate Library and Information Week, where we invited students at the Stanmore campus to create a map or a tour of the new Library.

Our brief didn’t stipulate what format the entries could come in, so we had a variety of entries, from physical maps to maps created via iPad apps, to video tours of the library. We even had a couple of libraries created in Minecraft!

The calibre of entry was very impressive- even with two brand new 2GB iPod shuffles up for grabs as the major prize for the winning duo or solo entrant, the entries were just too good, so we created a second prize category, as well as a highly commended category!

The winners were announced at a prize-giving ceremony during lunch. The winners are as follows:

1st prize: James McDonald (7/FL)

2nd prize: Nelson Crossley (7/PR) and Jacob Barrett (7/LE)

Highly Commended:

Alec Machin (7/LE)  and Michael van Walsum (7/JN)

Jeno Suh (7/JN)

If you’d like to see the prize winners and all of the other entries, come into the Library to check them out- we have the prize winners on display, either in their physical form, or playing on a video loop. You can access everybody else’s entries via QR code. Simply download a free QR code reader from the app store (i-Nigma is a good free one), open the app, aim your phone or tablet’s camera at the QR code and scan away.

Well done to everyone who entered and congratulations to our prize winners!
