  Hi London User Group members,   In anticipation of the upcoming second edition of the Weekly Challenge User Group October Takeover, Academy is taking over your User Group board for a moment!   The following are some of the benefits for you and your group through your participation in the October Takeover:   Increased Engagement: Boost interaction and participation within user groups through exciting Weekly Challenges. Community Building: Strengthen community bonds by encouraging members to collaborate and share their solutions to the challenges. Visibility and Recognition: Gain exposure and recognition for your user group by showcasing your activities to a broader audience. Skill Development: Provide members with opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge through practical challenges. Networking Opportunities: Connect with other user groups, fostering a collaborative environment and exchange of ideas.   It doesn't matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced user of Designer; what truly matters is your creativity and the great ideas you submit!   Submit your Weekly Challenge idea by September 6. If your idea is selected, it will be published, and you will receive a prize. The author of the best challenge will win the grand prize. Additionally, the authors of Weekly Challenges from the User Group that submits the most challenges for the October Takeover will all receive a special prize from the User Group Program Team!   Please refer to the attached document for submission details, evaluation criteria, and prize information.   Last year’s October Takeover was a great success, and we received many fantastic ideas.   Our four finalists were: Ippei Nakagawa @gawa: Tokyo User Group; Challenge #391: Which Combinations of Pokémon Types Do Not Exist?
