Winners of Abcam’s building blocks competition announced!

It all started, when out of the blue, a few of our customers submitted some of their creations made from our building blocks. Wow, what a creative bunch we thought! This gave us the idea to run a competition to uncover some more of your hidden talents.

We were astounded at the response we received. It was extremely difficult to shortlist the 15 finalists, so we breathed a sigh of relief when round two of the competition went to the public vote.

We are pleased to announce that you chose Minion as the winner, with Abtron and Fish second and third respectively. The first prize winner will receive $5000 Abcam credit, the second place winner will receive $1000 lab retreat and the third prize winner will receive a $500 gift basket.

Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in the competition. Check out our Facebook page to see all the finalist entries.

*Winners will be contacted directly about claiming their prizes
