22.01.2022 Check out this kickstarter project from Marc in Switzerland. He has a jigsaw puzzle campaign live on Kickstarter, which features the beautiful wildlife collection drawn by the British puzzle artist John Francis (Eight 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles which form one large artwork together). These are puzzles he remembers from his childhood that he now wants to bring back. Im sure that some of you would love to add his jigsaw puzzles to your collection, or it may just bring back some memories from your own childhood.

They may be alone, sick, financially unable to purchase puzzles online, or for whatever reason, in need of some jigsaw puzzles. These puzzles are not new, but will be delivered to their door free of charge courtesy of Cam at Get Puzzled. You may post your nomination in the comments or message the Association privately if you prefer. You may nominate yourself if you are genuinely in need. We have great people in this group and hope to share some joy. Thank you Get Puzzled for your generosity and consideration for all our members doing it tough in Victoria right now. See more

09.01.2022 The Australian Jigsaw Puzzle Association regrets to inform you that the National Jigsaw Puzzle Competition for 2020 is being cancelled due to the Covid-19 virus that has severely impacted Melbourne. The World Jigsaw Puzzle Championships in Spain have also been cancelled for 2020. The National Jigsaw Puzzle competition is rescheduled to next year on 20th November 2021 and will be held in Melbourne. Lock in this date! The good news is that members will have an opportunity to co...mpete in their State Jigsaw Puzzle Competition prior to the Nationals for a practice run and potentially win their free entry to the Nationals as part of the first prize. As a result, the Nationals will be bigger and better in 2021. Tickets are available for the new date of 20th November 2021 via Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/national-jigsaw-puzzle-comp We look forward to meeting you, your family and friends next year.

It will be donated and set on its way by Mr. Chocolate's Travel and sent to one lucky member to complete the puzzle, fill in the puzzle passport inside the box. Then they will send the travelling puzzle on to the next member, and we will get this little travelling puzzle making its way around the country and joining us all together in the most unique way. It will be interesting to see where it travels to as we watch the posts from those that get a visit from The Travelling Puzzle.

04.01.2022 Let the Travelling Puzzle Begin! The Travelling Puzzle is departing Melbourne today, 2nd September 2020 destined for Cairns, Queensland. Silke Anowsky will be the first port of call for Travelling Puzzle #1. Silke, we hope you enjoy your visitor and know that you are the start of a wonderful adventure for not only The Travelling Puzzle, but also for all Australian puzzlers. Follow The Travelling Puzzle journey by clicking on this link. http://bit.ly/travelling-puzzle... There are some simple rules: Travelling Puzzle must visit a different state from the one he was last in. Take a holiday snap with Travelling Puzzle and post it in our AJPA group. Travelling Puzzle has a travel journal inside that we encourage you to write in. It's up to you what you write, but some suggestions are: time to complete, who helped you with it, kind words to future recipients of The Travelling Puzzle, puzzle tips for less experienced puzzlers, a funny joke, your opinion of the brand or the image. Post Travelling Puzzle on to the next lucky destination doing your best to protect Travelling Puzzle as he doesn't have travel insurance. You will be notified of the next destination. One month is the time limit to complete the Travelling Puzzle. We understand that we all lose items when on holidays from time to time and we expect nothing less from our very own Travelling Puzzle. Please do your best to not lose any pieces but you won't be in trouble if you do. We will send Travelling Puzzle home from his holiday when he loses a predetermined number of pieces. We might retire him to a jigsaw gallery where he will be celebrated as Australia's first Travelling Puzzle and a positive reflection of 2020.
