Apple UK Invites Public to Design Christmas Trees for Battersea Display

Apple UK has launched the "Your Tree on Battersea" campaign inviting the public to design digital Christmas trees on iPad for a chance to have their artwork projected onto the chimneys of London's Battersea Power Station. Hosted by British comedian Munya Chawawa, the competition will select 24 winning entries to be displayed alongside commissioned works from artists and celebrities such as Sir Stephen Fry and David Shrigley OBE. This marks the first time the British public can contribute designs, following previous years' installations by David Hockney in 2023 and an Aardman Wallace & Gromit animation in 2024. Submissions are open until November 23, 2025, with an unveiling event on December 4, and Apple is offering free 30-minute Today at Apple sessions across all UK Apple Stores to help participants create their entries from November 6 through December 22. Participants can also submit their designs from home using downloadable templates provided by Apple. The initiative celebrates creativity using the iPad and Apple Pencil and coincides with Apple's UK headquarters being located at Battersea Power Station since 2023.
