Enter the Purple Mash 2Animate Competition!

Jan. 26, 2023


We are excited to launch our first 2Animate competition for schools. 2Animate is a fabulous tool that helps bring learning to life and can be used to demonstrate a range of concepts across the curriculum. We cannot wait to see how creative your students can be using 2Animate to create a short animation (30 seconds-1 minute) to explain a concept in science, a time in history or a place/feature in geography.


What you can win

We will choose one winner and a runner up from each age group. The winning school and student will receive:

2animate Blog
  • A $300 voucher to be used to pay for any 2Simple product
  • A $30 Amazon voucher (for the winning student)
  • A 2Simple goody bag (for winning student and runners up)

How it works

The competition is open to all children under 12 years old, and those who attend SEND provision up to the age of 18. All they need to enter is a flair for design and a Purple Mash account. If your school doesn't have a Purple Mash account, you can still enter by signing up for a free trial on this page.

To enter, children simply design their animation using Purple Mash tool 2Animate a Picture and submit it to the digital Display Board for their age category. At the end of the competition, our favourite design wins. It’s 2Simple!

There are three age categories:

  • Under 7s
  • Under 9s
  • Under 12s
  • Those who attend SEND provision up to the age of 18 are welcome to enter the appropriate age group, as decided by their teacher

When you can enter

The competition opens on 26th January and runs until the end of the day on Thursday 6th April.
