Lincolnshire has scooped a national award in the EnjoyEngland Awards for Excellence 2010 for the best quirky event in the UK – the World Egg Throwing Competition.
Scooping gold in this unusual category has caught national media attention and projected Lincolnshire into the spotlight. We’re using it to raise people’s awareness of the county as a great place to visit. And we urge you to take advantage of the national attention the award has attracted by mentioning it on your website.
The World Egg Throwing Competition, held every June near Sleaford, scooped gold against Sussex’s Bird Man Festival, Dorset’s World Nettle Eating Contest and Worcestershire’s Asparagus Festival. The winner was decided by a public vote. In the weeks leading up to the final Visit Lincolnshire and the event’s organiser, Andy Dunlop, worked together to rally local support.
