You can also win prizes as each brick added to the wall has the chance to win one of thirty iPod Nanos or one of three Macbook prizes. The prizes are hidden randomly behind the first 50,000 bricks on the Wall of Words. If your word lands on a lucky brick you will be notified by email before 14 April 2007. Closing date for competition entries is the 31st March 2007.

They’re just around half way to the 50,000 word total – so why not add a brick and support a worthy cause.
