This week Indesignlive celebrates its second birthday, with two years of design and architecture news, events, projects and people. Veuve Clicquot and Mondaine help us celebrate.

The competition relating to this article is now closed, but do read on…
When Indesign Group launched its daily news website in 2007, it paved the way for establishing Indesign as the leading information source for designers and architects in Australia and beyond.
Providing daily updates on the movers and shakers in the community and up-to-the-minute news, the site has rapidly gained a following, complementing Indesign’s print publications with its live updates and news on people, products and projects.
Two years on and the site continues to spread the word, with over two million page views to date and 81 newsletters (including this week’s).
To toast our birthday we’re giving you, our readers, the chance to win an amazing Veuve Clicquot Tw’Ice Bucket – a uniquely designed ice bucket that clamps to the side of a table and comes with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Vintage 1999 – and a Mondaine Swiss Railways Watch to keep up with the times. AND… stay tuned, because next week we’ll be giving away another prize package – two years, two giveaways, sounds fair!
All you need to do is fill in the form by clicking here (competition closed!) and the best answer will take home this week’s fantastic prize package.
We’ve also surfed our archives to bring you the top ten stories of all time chosen by you:
