World Cup party kits competition - the winners

Last week we invited you to download our exclusive World Cup office party kits, decorate your workplace and send us a photograph of your efforts, with a £50 drinks token on offer to our favourites.

We've now selected two winners, which you can see below along with two other highly commended entries. You can see the photographs other people have been sending in here.

Please keep sending in your photographs via MMS to +44 7921 688 481 with the word "worldcup" in the body, or by email to office.world.cup@theguardian.com. There will be more prizes in the coming weeks, and a top of the range digital camera for the overall winner at the end of the tournament.


Winner: The Stevenage World Cup tm gazebo, put together with love by Tony Batt, his two sons and northern monkey Ben Rodgers, using all the Guardian supporters' kit pdfs, a handy office laser printer and a hell of a lot of time, glue and effort. Tony says: "All evening and weekend games are viewed here accompanied by nibbles and the finest German wheat beer I can find (Paulana or Erdinger)."


Winner: This astonishing effort from the team at Abbey in Milton Keynes, who clearly have a lot of time on their hands, was sent in by Craig Carrington. Craig says: "Here at Abbey in Milton Keynes we have decorated our desks in line with the 8 seeded teams in the World Cup. The judges picked England as winners, not because of favouritism, but because of our hand-crafted Big Ben, Tower of London and London Eye."


Highly commended: Dave Robinson sent us this photograph from a rainy Sydney of his wife Amanda's work station on the 23rd floor of the Commonwealth Bank building. Dave says: "Through the window you can see the Botanical Gardens and Woolloomooloo Bay. It might not be the best, but her bravery and tenacity in protecting it surely should be rewarded. Becks is regularly nicked and was discovered on the last occasion in the ladies loo - which is nice for the ladies! Best regards and Go England."


Highly commended: This from the North Devon Youth Offending Team, sent in by Thor Beverley. Thor says: "Swept along by World Cup Fever the members of the North Devon Youth Offending Team decorated their desks with the flags (or inflatable palm trees) of the country they drew in the office sweepstake. Come on Ivory Coast!
