Win a ticket to Build
Aaah, there’s nothing like being able to give away tickets for conferences. This time, it’s one close to my heart, as it’ll be my first speaking gig ever: Build conference in Belfast (November 5th).
Created for obsessive-compulsive designers, Build is no ordinary web conference. From internationally renowned speakers to a jam-packed social calendar, Build is bringing the best of the web to Belfast’s Waterfront Studio on the 5th November.
With a variety of companion workshops, lectures, parties, meetups and an unconference, Build was created for those enthusiastic about the web and passionate about what they do.
The location and speakers (besides me) look great, and I can’t wait to fly over there and spend a day wandering around the city.
Andy McMillan gave me 2 tickets, free to give away to whoever I choose as winners in this little competition. Here’s what you need to do to enter for a ticket to the conference (travel and accommodation not included):
On your desk, grab everything that isn’t bolted into the wall/floor, and Build a stack out of it. Take a picture of it and post it in the comments (maximum 500px wide). Most spectacular/creative stacks win.
Deadline is Tuesday, August 4th. Like last time, I’m looking forward to what you’ll come up with :) Good luck!
Update (August 7th)
It was incredible hard picking just 2 winners. They are all original and very daring. Thanks for participating all, but here are the winners:
Ticket N°1: Maykel Loomans
Ticket N°1: Jonnotie
Watch your inboxes for details!

As a handy side effect of this competition, I now have to clean my desk. Thankyou.

Here’s my attempt:
Almost broke a lot of gear. Shame you can’t see all the crap wedged in-between the speakers keeping them at just the right angles for balance.

As I took the photo I thought that balancing my laptop on the monitor might not be a good idea.

I’m laughing, hard. These all look incredible :D
Thomas van der Westen and David Shawe, could you please post a link to the TwitPic page? TwitPic doesn’t allow for it’s images to be embedded on other sites…
Keep it up all! It’s going to be hard picking 2 winners out of these…
