We won again!!!!!!!!!!

Beyond our wildest expectations, Play It! Say It! won the Roy Amara Prize this evening following our presentation at the Institute For The Future! Thanks to Andrew and Adam's idea with Jack's and my website and entry into the competition, we have won our first international competition!! :D

Here's a photo of the prize pack and cheque!!

 

The Roy Amara prize was $3000 and all the Bodyshock winners received a prize pack including a Bodyshock the Future t-shirt and an Institute For The Future t-shirt, an IFTF mug and most exciting for me, a big poster of their entry (in our case the Play It! Say It! logo which of course I designed - I'll be itching to get it framed and up on my wall at home). It was also a buzz to see our logo up on the wall at the Institute too.

We met lots of amazing people, including Kelly McGonigal who is not only amazing but incredibly beautiful and nice. It was actually a brilliant TED talk by her twin sister Jane McGonigal that led me to the Bodyshock competition in the first place.

We also ate today (which is lucky, because I love to eat) at a totally delicious diner that had pies of every type - cherry, coconut, pumpkin, chocolate pecan, banana, key lime, NY cheesecake and the list goes on and on - and also every ice-cream flavour you could ever imagine, including pumpkin ice-cream. (For which I don't hold high hopes - pumpkin pie just tasted like pumpkins, funnily enough.)

I had Carribean French Toast (perfection, though I had to stop after about 5 mouthfuls) and Andrew had eggs and hash brown pie.

 

We also had time today to explore Stanford University which has an enormous but beautiful campus.

And just as Granma had requested, I said "hi" to America for her (in the visual presentation I put a little "My Grandma said to say 'hi'") and the audience made a little noise like you do when you see something cute. So, I reckon that is a "hi" back Granma. :)
