To mark this year’s anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, The Parliamentary Archives and Show Me (www.show.me.uk) are launching a competition to win a trip to Parliament.

To enter just send in a picture of what Bonfire Night means to you: spectacular fireworks, burning bonfires, gruesome Guys or anything else you can think of.  You can use anything you like to make your picture - pencils, pens, paint, collage – or you can even do it on your computer.

Your entry must also include the names of THREE of Guy Fawkes’ fellow plotters. To help you with this you can find out about who was involved in the plot on The Parliamentary Archives and Show Me’s Gunpowder Plot site.
There are four age groups:
• 4-7
• 8-11
• 12-14
• 15 and over
Your Entry must include a sheet of paper with the following information:

•    Your first name and surname
•    The age group you are entering and your age on November 30 2005
•    Your address and a contact telephone number
•    The names of THREE of Guy Fawkes’ fellow plotters
email your entry to: showandtell@show.me.uk

For further inspiration and ideas visit the websites exploring the history of the plot - www.show.me.uk/gunpowder (4-11)  www.gunpowderplot.parliament.uk (12 and above). Enter from school or home and we’ll publish a selection of our favourites on Show Me.

The closing date for entries is November 30 2006, so get to work!
