Posted 24 January 2012 by SJ

I suppose the title of this post says it all, but HURRAH,  Wondermind is a finalist in for an SXSW Interactive Award in the Educational Resource category. Wish us luck please – we find out on March 13 2012!

(Also, the iMac is still up for grabs, so enter, enter!)

WIN AN IMAC WITH WONDERMIND!

Posted 10 January 2012 by SJ

Thanks for your patience everyone, I had to iron out some last minute details on our competition, but now I am READY TO GO.

Right, do you want to win one of these?

Yes? Here’s what you need to do.

Have a play on Wondermind and find the Rabbit Hole tag in the blog when you’re done.

There are four posts there – each with a tricky task or question about the world of Alice in Wonderland at the end.

Answer all four, by leaving a comment in the box. Then, when you’re sure you have all four answers correct, email them to me at kids@tate.org.uk by 1st March 2012 with your name, age and address.

I will check all of them, of course, and if you’ve got them all right, you’re in with a chance to get your hands on that iMac.

Good luck – I wish I could enter myself!

SJ

Here are some T&Cs for you. This competition is open to UK visitors I’m afraid. Any other questions, let me know!
