- Create a 2-5 minute presentation including a hand-out / report / poster / artwork / recipe that the judges can look at on the day. Topics must relate to Penguins or Maggie’s Penguin Parade. (As Al-Maktoum’s Penguin is Star Wars themed, you are welcome to include a Star Wars influence in your idea or presentation.)
