North Yorkshire Moors Railways (NYMR) launched a specially themed drawing competition earlier this year in a nod to the cancellation of its popular Railway in Wartime event. The winner will receive a trip to the railway for their entire school class, a personalised headboard and a Pullman Dining Experience for their favourite teacher and a guest.*
They have until 5pm next Friday 28th August to enter.
The competition is a drawing contest for children, aged between four and eleven. NYMR is inviting parents to encourage their children to think about what the railway might have looked like during wartime and put pen to paper to draw their interpretation of it.
During the second world war, Britain’s railways were used more heavily than at any time in their history and played a pivotal role in evacuating thousands of children and transporting them to safety, as well as delivering vital supplies across the breadth of the country.
Drawing competition entries should be submitted via nymr.co.uk/drawing-competition by the deadline, where they will be shortlisted by Chris Price, General Manager of NYMR. Once the top designs have been chosen, voting for the winning candidate will be handed over to the public to decide via the railway’s social media channels.
The winner will be announced on 9 October, during what would have been the Railway in Wartime event that welcomes more than 30,000 visitors each year.
*Terms and conditions apply. For the full competition terms and conditions, and to enter please visit nymr.co.uk/terms-conditions.
