IISAC2008 and IISis4

On the 13th September 2008, IceInSpace turns 4 years old - a fantastic and important milestone, made even more exciting by the running of our birthday quiz! It's our chance to give something back to our loyal community and celebrate our birthday with you.

Due to the close proximity of the IISis4 quiz and IISAC2008, we've decided to move the birthday quiz to coincide with IISAC2008 - so the birthday quiz will take place in the weeks leading up to IISAC2008, with the prize draw happening at IISAC2008! For more information, check the IISis4 page or the IISAC2008 page by clicking on the logos above.

Thanks to the generous sponsors who are supporting both IISis4 and IISAC2008 by donating prizes that you can win! Please support them, as they support these two great events.
