> I'm a Hackspace member and I run the Air Guitar UK Championships
> (http://www.facebook.com/airguitaruk). This year we've teamed up with
> the Design Museum (http://designmuseum.org/) to hold a competition to
> design the 2012 trophy, right now I'm working on the creative
> specification, and when we have more details in place (everything is
> very open-ended at the moment), we'll get the competition launched.

> The winner of the competition (to be judged hopefully by a relatively
> high-profile designer, musician, and someone connected with either Air
> Guitar UK or Teenage Cancer Trust) will be announced at an Air Guitar
> UK 'takeover' of the Design Museum's Riverside Hall (http://
> designmuseum.org/hiring/riverside-hall) one day in mid July. That
> evening the space will become the venue for the Air Guitar UK
> Championship Finals, where the best air guitarist in the country will
> be crowned and presented with the trophy, and then sent to represent
> the UK at the World Air Guitar Championships (http://www.airguitarworldchampionships.com/) in Finland.

> We're running on a shoestring budget, and I need someone, or a team of
> people, to build the trophy to the winning design. This is where I
> hope the Hackspace and our members can come in to their own! Having a
> piece made in the Hackspace by it's members displayed and presented at
> the Design Museum as part of a national event could be a great
> showcase for the space and our community. It fits quite well with the
> 'Hackspace Challenges' (http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/
> Project:Hackspace_Challenges) project proposed on the wiki.

> What do people think, is anyone interested?

> All the best,
