We had SO much fun creating your ultimate dream ice creams last year… we’re coming back for seconds!
Sharpen your pencils kids, we’re on the hunt for Aotearoa’s most exciting and delicious flavour creations!
Our ice cream experts will choose two winners: one from School Years 0-5 and one from School Years 6-8. They will be looking for daringly delicious combinations that tell a story through flavour and ingredients.
The two most interestingly inventive ideas will be turned into a real-life ice cream, scooped in our stores and sent to the creator’s school (or equivalent) for their whole class to try. All profits from sales in our stores will go to the winners’ schools to help fund projects around innovation, creativity and science.
How to enter
If you’re Year 0-8 at any school, download an entry form below or grab a copy from one of our scoop stores, then let your imagination run wild drawing and describing your ice cream invention.
