Apple is hosting a Christmas tree drawing contest and inviting iPad users to submit their creations for a chance to be projected onto London’s iconic building. This follows a projection of a drawing created by David Hockney that was exhibited in the building in 2023.
The company said the 24 winning works, along with commissions from celebrities such as Stephen Fry, will be projected at its UK headquarters at Battersea Power Station.

After being decommissioned in 1975, it remained vacant and unused until 2014. Numerous potential projects were proposed but abandoned before a combination of office space, restaurants, shops and entertainment space was finally agreed to be developed. Part of the development negotiations included partially funding an expansion of the Tube network to build a new station there.
In 2016, Apple announced that the building would be the home of its new UK campus. The company currently occupies most of the office space surrounding the power plant’s huge atrium. There’s no company name or logo in the lobby of this impressive office space, perhaps to avoid people confusing it with a standalone Apple Store.
