Lincoln Castle launches short story competition for Lucy the dragon exhibition

Lucy the dragon

Lincoln Castle is inviting families to get creative over the Easter holiday in a short story writing competition – all about Lucy the dragon.

Travelling from distant lands far away, Lucy is expected to arrive in Lincoln very soon.

"Tales should be as magical, fantastical and imaginative as possible," said Stephanie Beecher, events officer at Lincoln Castle.

"They could be about friendship, other dragons, families, adventures or far away lands – really anything you think would make an amazing story. Simply start your story with 'Meet Lucy' and let your imagination do the rest."

 "Although we won't be able to meet Lucy on the day she arrives, she is looking forward to reading all of the adventures you create for her."

There are three categories and winners will receive a gift voucher for use at the Lindum Bookshop in Lincoln.

  • Category 1: ages 5 to 12
  • Category 2: ages 13 to 18
  • Category 3: over 18's

The competition will run until 14th October 2020
