This Christmas we are asking you to get creative with your baubles for the chance to win £250 for your chosen charity and an iPad mini for yourself.

All you need is a RED bauble and a camera device of some sort. Then do one or a combination of the following:

— Photograph it — Animate it — Video it — ? it —

Then share it with #mm_balls on our favourite platforms:

— Facebook — Twitter — Instagram — YouTube — Vine —

We will upload our favourite posts from all the social media channels to our competition website, creativityneverstops.com. All posts that feature on the website will be finalists in the competition. The mark-making* team will then chose an overall winner at the end of the competition. There will also be some spot prizes for creative genius.

If you are feeling really creative or just need something to keep the kids occupied over the festive break, why not try making your own baubles using our handy guide or 15 second demo.
