Imp Trail: Now you’re invited to submit your own design

April 28, 2020

Lissie Hollis started work on Freemasonry's Imp in February - now LincolnBIG are offering you the chance to design one too.

Could you create a design for an Imp to feature on one of the unique figures on the forthcoming Imp Trail in Lincoln? That’s the chance trail organisers LincolnBIG are currently promoting.

Our picture shows artist Lissie Hollis about to start working on the Imp sponsored by Lincolnshire Freemasons that will feature on the Trail – but there is one more yet to be painted, and your design could be on it.

Olivia Dexter of LincolnBIG said: “We’re running a competition called ‘Design Your Own Imp’, and the lucky winner will have their design on our final remaining imp sculpture for the trail when it launches. We invite you, your staff, friends, children and family to create a NEW design and be in with the chance to win. We are keen to see fun designs that include, myths, legends and discovery.”

To enter ‘Design Your Own Imp’ please follow the steps on our Lincoln IMP Trail website. The deadline for design submissions is Monday 18th May.

The winning design will be announced Friday 22nd May via the LincolnIMP Trail social media pages – Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. “We will also be sharing some of the submitted designs on the LincolnIMP Trail social media pages too,” she added.

This year’s Imp Trail has been disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, but LincolnBIG is hoping against hope that there might still be time to stage it in some form this year – but whatever happens, it will feature boldly in the city in 2021.
