We manufacture our machines to the highest specifications by carefully selecting only the best quality components to create our unique low power, high performance GreenPCs and GreenServers. Our energy efficient range of home and business computers are built with smaller, cleaner components to reduce the embedded carbon footprint.

HOW TO ENTER
1) To enter the competition simply click here to add an entry now. You might need to login or register first though but to register we only ask for your email address and a password you'll be pleased to know.
2) Then fill in the ADD LISTING form describing your idea and maybe upload a picture (we really like pictures). The better your description the better the chance you have of winning really.
3) Finally, before submitting your entry and making it live on the site please ensure you 'tag' your entry "get kids outdoors competition".

WHAT'S A TAG? Tags are a bit like keywords and are added by you to your entry when you fill in the form described above. For example if your tip is about how to make carpets last longer you might give your entry the following tags: get kids outdoors competition, tyre, recycle.
FINAL TIPS:
- Make sure your title is written to get people looking at your entry.
- Please do fill out as much of the ADD LISTING form as possible. The more effort you put in to the tip you enter the more likely the judges will like the listing and the more likely people will probably be to give you their vote.
