We're a Yorkshire Day Competition Winner!

A note on this post: it was originally published in 2012. The web moves quickly, and some of what's described here may look quite different today. The thinking behind it still holds up, but specifics may need a little updating. We've left it here as part of an honest record of the work, thinking, and conversations that have shaped DESIGN DPI over the years.

Thanks to the lovely folk at Made In Yorkshire and their Yorkshire Day Giveaway, design dpi are the proud winners of a Yorkshire music bundle.

Yorkshire Day is on the 1st of August every year and this year Made In Yorkshire decided to run their most excellent competition. It's only fair that someone born in 1975 and who grew up near Beverley, and went to secondary school in Beverley should win the music bundle.

You see, Yorkshire Day originally began in 1975, by the Yorkshire Ridings Society… in Beverley, East Yorkshire. It started initially as a protest against the Local Government re-organisation of 1974.

In order to win the music bundle, you had to answer two questions based on Yorkshire place names. The first one was a riddle, the place name has 6 letters:

A PLACE TO SIT AND STAY

The second was an anagram:

WE SOLD A GIN
