NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: 21 September 2021 The vast majority is always being submitted in the last few days before the deadline – regardless of when exactly we launch the call for entries or when the deadline is. We tried to get things done a bit earlier this year but there are simply not enough submissions in yet to avoid us getting nervous.
We therefore decided to extend the call for entries until the end of 21 September. Thank you to all the participants who already sent in their entries!

These incredible pictures were taken last weekend however and show our Stereohype mascot squirrel sculpture – out in the wild – hibernating a little in beautiful Ardèche. Our sculpture's #SaveTheStereohypeSquirrel story has been documented over at flat33.com. The squirrel's fluorescent neon orange-red polygon nut is spending winter in a shed by the way.
