A SPECIAL competition for sports, community and badge groups has been launched by organisers of the brand-new Land of Lights festival which will see one winner have their own lantern created and put on display at the event.
Members of local groups are being asked to submit designs of their own ‘monster themed’ lantern and the best one will be produced by the festival’s expert team and displayed on the Land of Lights trail opening at Gulliver’s World in Warrington in November.
The winner will also win tickets to the Land of Lights Lantern Festival for the group they are representing, for up to 50 people.
Land of Lights, which runs from 11 November 2023 until 25 February 2024, includes 12 vivid dreamworlds featuring gigantic lanterns inspired by animals, mega monuments and wonders of the natural world.
Guests will explore a milelong trail of light installations, which includes more than 7,000 individual lanterns and hundreds of thousands LED lights. The experience will feature an eclectic mix of music and entertainment and a selection of street food and seasonal drink options which will be available throughout the festival.
Craig Clews, Land of Lights festival manager, said: “We’re really excited about hosting the Land of Lights festival this winter and this competition is the ideal way for the local community to get involved in what is set to be a truly magical event.
“We hope as many budding artists and designers will send in their wonderful ideas so we can bring one of them to life to showcase at the festival. Designs can be scanned and emailed or we will accept photographs too but move quickly as submissions must be in by 31 September.”
Entries must be submitted via email with your full name and group you’re representing to [email protected] before 31 September 2023. This competition is open to sports, community and badge groups only and entrants are asked to provide information about your group, including group leader contact details when submitting.
