On your marks, get set, bake! The Great Rainbow Bake-Off is back<\/b><\/p>\n

Educate & Celebrate<\/a>, the UK-based organization that helps schools to become LGBT-friendly, in conjunction with Gay Star News, is asking pupils and students to take part in its ‘Edu-bake & Cel-a-cake’ Great Rainbow Bake-Off to raise awareness about diversity issues during national Anti-bullying Week, 16<\/span>-20<\/span> November 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schools across the world can take part by holding a Bake-Off competition, sending photographs or videos<\/a> of students’ home-baked LGBT+ themed cakes adhering to this year’s theme of ‘Make a noise about bullying!’<\/span><\/p>\n

The noisiest entries will be published on Gay Star News, and the top 10 bakers who receive the most votes for their photograph will be invited to the live<\/a> bake-off final hosted by Educate & Celebrate for LGBT History Month celebrations in February 2016.<\/p>\n

Last year’s judges were Elly Barnes CEO of Educate & Celebrate, Scott Nunn, Director of Gay Star News and Allegra McEvedy, celebrity chef who said:<\/span><\/p>\n

‘I am totally behind the Great Rainbow Bake-Off as a way to promote anti-gay<\/a> bullying in schools.<\/span><\/p>\n

All children have a right to the playground and the classroom being safe places, ones free from prejudice of sexuality, race or religion.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a truth that children can sometimes be mean, especially when it comes to differences; in some cases they need help to understand that all being different is a cause for celebration, not aggression.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wish when I was at school a campaign like this had existed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good luck in the Bake-off and may the best cake win!’<\/span><\/p>\n

Elly Barnes said: <\/span>‘We help schools to increase visibility of lesbian<\/a>, gay<\/a>, bisexual<\/a> and trans<\/a> people in line with all other equality strands and our Edu-cake & Cel-a-bake competition is an accessible way teachers can confidently do this.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Last year the winning cakes included the rainbow colours, the pink triangle, the genderbread person, all of which are a fun, educational and engaging way to highlight the LGBT+ struggle and create positive change.’<\/span><\/p>\n

To enter, please email your photograph or short video<\/a> of your LGBT+ themed cake to juliebremner@educateandcelebrate.org<\/span><\/a><\/span> or tweet @educatecelebrat <\/a>using #rainbowbakeoff<\/a> #GRBO <\/a>during National Anti-Bullying week, from 16-20 November 2015. <\/span><\/p>\n

For further information on the competition, as well as training and resources for schools and teachers, visit the Educate & Celebrate website<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
