COMPETITION CLOSING DATE - 1st FEBRUARY 2010 EXTENDED TO 19th March 2010

Guernsey’s got Genius is a competition that is being run by the Intellectual Property Office together with agreed event partners, AO Hall and Stanleys.  The competition results will be celebrated as part of World IP Day on the 26th April 2010, arranged by and held at the Intellectual Property Office.

The competition opens on Monday 14th December 2009 and closes on Monday 1st February 2010 extended to 19th March 2010.  Entry depositing boxes have been provided to all Secondary schools and Colleges around the Island.  Alternatively entries may be posted, brought into the office by hand or emailed to ipo@guernseyregistry.com.  Please see the above links for further competition details and entry rules.

Prizes include:

1st Prize = £600 towards a family holiday to Disneyland Paris or Thorpe Park.

2nd Prize = iPod shuffle or equivalent music device to the value of approximately £50.

Within the Schools, we would be grateful if you could take a few minutes in a Tutor Group session or similar to tell your students about the start of the competition.  The presentation could be included as part of other activities, groups or sessions, such as art & design, business studies or ICT/Computer sessions.

This competition will give a brief introduction to intellectual property and students will gain experience of thinking about ideas.  This will therefore enhance awareness of IP and the general concepts around it.

This awareness may give rise to thoughts about design, innovation and creativity, business studies, general respect for copying the work of others as well as potentially opening up other ideas for study and careers.

If any further information is required, please do not hesitate to contact the office.
