You’ve got between now and 6pm on Friday 11th December to come up with a custom-made lantern worthy of taking the spoils at the Lyme Regis Christmas Lights Virtual Lantern Parade.

To enter the virtual parade, please send your lantern photos to organisers Lyme Regis Christmas Lights by messaging their Facebook page or emailing info@lymechristmaslights.co.uk and remember to include the name and age of the entrant, plus where they’re from. A selfie style photo featuring the entrant holding the lantern and a close up shot of the lantern would be ideal.

Use your imagination and be creative, prizes will be awarded for the best entries in each age category, kids and adults. You could also send a short video clip.

Use a jar, a plastic bottle or container to build your own lantern which can be lit with LED battery powered lights then decorate as you desire.

The parade will take place at 6pm on 12th December via the Lyme Regis Christmas Lights Facebook page with a video featuring all the entrants.  It will also appear on lymechristmaslights.co.uk.
