Competition results

Thanks to everyone who suggested a new name for our group, and all who voted on the suggestions. There were lots of good ideas. We can now announce that the winning name is...

EdSign

We are currently working on plans for the new session which we will announce as soon as we can. This year we hope to have a majority of Deaf presenters. We have lots of ideas already, but if there are people you think we should invite, please do get in touch!

We are also looking for new sources of funding to allow us to pay the interpreters and contribute towards the travel and accommodation costs for our presenters. If you know of any charities or businesses who might be able to help, do let us know.

Vote now!

Competition!

Can you help us think of a new name for our group?

The EdSign34 lecture series has now come to an end. We hope you have found it useful, interesting and encouraging -- please let us know by filling in our short feedback survey!

We are planning to continue on after the summer break, and we need a new name. As it will be 35 years since Mary Brennan's groundbreaking work that gave British Sign Language its name, we could just become EdSign35. But we thought we'd give you a chance to show us how creative you can be!

We're looking for a name that will be easy to remember, easy to search for online (so no funny spelling please!) and that has some kind of link to what our group is about. If you have an idea for a logo to go with your suggestion, that would be fantastic too.

You can add your suggestions in the comments below, or send them to us by email at EdSign34 (at) googlemail (dot) com. The winning entry will be announced here at the end of August, and there will be a small prize for the winner.

We're looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
