We have an exciting mini competition to announce which will be taking place on Friday afternoon of conference. As you will already be aware by now, the theme of this years conference is Zombie Apocalypse. With this in mind, we thought it would be a great idea for you to show off your decorating skills, and each produce a zombie gingerbread man during the Friday afternoon. The idea is simple although as with any competition their are some rules as per below:

Rules
  • You are only allowed to decorate one zombie gingerbread man
  • Only gingerbread men supplied by Greenhalgh's Craft Bakery, at conference can be entered
  • Zombie gingerbread men can be decorated using any icing or decorations provided by Renshaw's at conference
  • The time constraints  for decorating is a maximum 20 minutes
  • Gingerbread men can be altered to create any zombie themed affects (for example bite marks are permitted on gingerbread men or missing limbs and so on)

Judging
  • Once completed, decorated zombie gingerbread men are to be placed on the designated judging table
  • Your name and college / university is to be written on the back of the zombie gingerbread man using permanent marker pen which will be provided
  • ​1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded prize money based on the following parameters:
    • ​Design - Should be zombie gingerbread man themed
    • Quality of decoration - skills demonstrated on final product
    • Creative flair
  • The top prizes will be judged and awarded by the ABST President and ABST President Elect and judging will start from 3:30pm
  • The winners will be announced after the AGM has been completed on the Friday afternoon
  • The judges decision is final

Prize Money
  • 1st Place - £50.00
  • 2nd Place - £25.00
  • 3rd Place - £10.00

​This is one of the many new activities planned for Friday afternoon at conference which you can take part in from when you arrive up until the AGM. We will be updating you on  the other activities over the next few days, so keep an eye out for them!

​We would also like to take this opportunity to thank both Greenhalgh's and Renshaw's for the support they have given in providing the Gingerbread men and the icings and decorations, as well as guidance and support on the day at conference.
