Legoland Windsor Resort runs storytelling competition for budding young authors
Calling all aspiring child authors: Legoland Windsor Resort is running a competition to find a Lego fan to write a magical short story which will be featured in their new Castle Hotel, which is set to open this summer.
The competition follows another contest which sought to find children to help design a new Lego character model at the new hotel.
The winning story will be printed as a book and placed in each of the bedrooms at the Castle Hotel. The crowning author will also have creative input into the illustrations that will accompany the story, plus they, along with their family, will be invited to stay at the hotel for the opening.
The competition is open to children aged five to 12 years old. The story should be no longer than 500 words; should begin with ‘Once upon a time in the Legoland Castle Hotel…,’ and should be set in a world of ‘fire breathing dragons and whimsical wizards.’
The Legoland Castle Hotel’s lead creative, Lily-Ann Bedder, said of the competition: ‘Creating a magical bedtime experience for our guests was central to our plans for the Legoland Castle Hotel. We put ourselves in the shoes of children and dreamt big to come up with the designs!’
Guests of the Castle Hotel will also have access to the pirate-themed splash pool throughout their stay.
Family rooms – which can sleep up to five people – are from £572, including breakfast, park tickets for two days plus special exclusive benefits, such as an in-room treasure hunt which leads to a special Lego gift.
My opinion about this new is...
This news I like because it is also a way of publicizing a type of tourism, in this case the themed hotels. Since children are young, teach them how to be creative. Besides, in the event that they are accepted to publish their drawing, this causes them to raise their self-esteem to the children and will be a memory forever.This is an opportunity for parents and children to get to know the hotel and live a different experience. These ideas would have to be made more often!
