Pay attention all gym teachers out there! You now have a chance to show the world what you and your class are good for. In our competition we encourage you to create art with workout apps. Draw with your feet!

Many of us use apps like Strava or Runkeeper to track our running, cycling, hiking and walking. A fun trend is to try to make your route into a picture. It requires planning, creativity and physical exercise – and the results are often quite amazing.

Competition

We challenge teachers and classes to create workout art with GPS tracking and send them to us. We will show many of them during the conference, on our website and social media.

The best result which demonstrates a combination of artistic creativity and physical exercise will win a prize – and a lot of glory. A jury will discuss and pick out the winner.

The deadline for the competition is 18 September.
